About Hinoki (Chamaecyparis obtusa):

The Hinoki cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) is native to central Japan and is considered one of the "five sacred trees of Kiso." These majestic trees have been protected and revered since the time of Japanese feudal lords and samurai. The wood is pinkish-brown, has a light lemon scent, and is incredibly resistant to decay and insects—qualities that have made it the preferred material for centuries for the construction of palaces, temples, shrines, traditional hot springs (onsen), and the famous Noh theaters. The essential oil is extracted from the wood through steam distillation and carries the characteristic, typically Japanese aroma that has been valued in Japan for centuries for spiritual purposes and relaxation. Today, the Hinoki cypress is also a popular ornamental tree in gardens and parks worldwide.

Perfect for:

• Meditation and spiritual practice

These trees were traditionally used for the construction of sacred structures and have been protected for centuries. Hinoki is considered the most precious of these five trees and is especially valued for its spiritual properties and exceptional wood.
