JapaneseCraftsGoods Hinoki Wood Bath Bucket

Hinoki wood is naturally resistant to bacteria, but it remains a porous, natural material. After every use, rinse the bucket with fresh water and store it in a well-ventilated area, ideally tilted on its side to allow air to circulate and ensure it dries completely.

The signature aromatic scent of Hinoki cypress is natural to the wood itself. While it will be strongest when the product is new, the scent will naturally mellow over time, though it may release again slightly when the wood gets wet.

The copper hoop is functional, not just decorative. It provides structural integrity to the staved construction, helping the bucket maintain its shape and tightness over years of exposure to water and humidity.

It is best to avoid adding harsh chemicals, concentrated essential oils, or bath salts directly into the bucket. These can stain the wood or potentially degrade the natural oils that give Hinoki its unique properties.

With a height of 23 cm and a diameter of 14.8 cm, this bucket is designed for rinsing or pouring water rather than soaking. It holds a comfortable amount of water for traditional Japanese-style bathing rituals.
