檜 ひのき

hinoki / Japanese Cypress

Hinoki is often used in the old wooden temple buildings such as Horyuji Temple in Nara, Ise Shrine in Mie, and Torii Gate at Meiji Shrine in Tokyo. This is a masterpiece that we use for a building which can last for 1000 years. It has a smooth and shiny skin. Also for the reson that Hinoki has high fragrance with a relaxing effect, it's often used for furnitures or bathtub as high quality material.
