What is Hinoki?
Hinoki (Japanese cypress) is a coniferous tree native to Japan and has long been prized as a high-quality material with excellent strength and durability.
It has been used since ancient times as the finest building material in buildings such as Horyuji Temple and Ise Shrine, and many of those buildings still remain to this day.Meanwhile, stages covered with cypress, such as the stage at Kiyomizu Temple, are called "cypress stages," which shows that it is a special material.
In this way, cypress is not just a piece of wood, but a noble and elegant presence that is indispensable to Japanese culture.
Cypress is Japanese culture itself.
