Clean lined, timeless little bench made out of hinoko (Japanese cypress). Just the subtle scent of hinoko will make you feel like you are in a traditional Japanese bath. The smell of cypress is supposed to have therapeutic properties causing relaxation. You can use this stool to sit while you shower or we like use it also sitting when we are shaving our legs. It's the simple things. And while you can’t leave your stool soaking in water, if drained the wood resists rot and mold. Hinoko is the wood of choice for temples and shrines so they can last centuries. Made of cypress wood 10.25” L x 6.6” W x 9.25” H Made in Nagano, Japan Show more
