Japanese Hinoki Bath Stool

Inspired by the quiet rituals of the Japanese bathhouse, this hinoki wood bath stool is crafted from Japanese cypress prized for its natural beauty, gentle fragrance, and resistance to humidity.

Traditionally used in Japanese onsen and home bathing spaces, the stool is designed for seated washing and bathing rituals. The hinoki wood releases a subtle aromatic scent when exposed to warm water and steam, bringing a calming sensory element to the bathroom. Also works beautifully as a small side stool, plant stand, or spa and sauna accessory.

Simple, lightweight, and beautifully functional, the stool showcases the understated craftsmanship and everyday utility central to Japanese design. Natural variations in grain, tone, and resin are part of the character of the wood and develop further with use over time. Hinoki is naturally resistant to moisture, mould, and bacteria, making it especially suited to wet environments.

Dimensions: W29 x D18 x H20.5cm

Care: crafted from untreated Hinoki cypress, the stool should be allowed to dry fully between uses to preserve the timber and natural fragrance. Wipe clean with a soft cloth and avoid prolonged exposure to standing water or direct sunlight. Natural resin, colour variation, and gradual patina are part of the beauty of authentic Hinoki wood.
