Kiso-Hinoki, in the middle of the mainland Japan. Aomori-Hiba, in the north. These two woods are particular to Japan and cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
Kiso-Hinoki (Chamaecyparis obtusa)-Japanese cypress, supreme quality
Was strictly protected in the Edo era (1603 to 1868). Only a limited umber of Hinoki in the Kiso region was cut down to build the most sacred shrines. This practice left us a chance to make quality bathtub with this finest material, and our company was named after "Hinoki" to embody the supremacy.
Aomori-Hiba (Thujopsis dolabrata)-Standard material
Has been even used to construct precious, historical buildings such as Japanese World Heritage "The Chuson-ji Temple Konjiki-do (Golden Hall)." Aomori is the name of a northern prefecture of Japan in cold climate. Aomori-Hiba that survive harsh winters is famous for its toughness and beauty.
