Tosaryu has been crafting Hinoki pieces in the mountains of Kochi, Japan, since 1970. The woodworkers of Tosaryu have perfected the art ofmonotsukuri, artisan crafting, by fully utilizing the natural characteristics of Japanese Hinoki cypress wood in order to enhance the quality and functionality of their products. By drying wood naturally (without the use of chemical drying agents) for a full 3-6 months, the fragrant, oil-rich, sturdy composition of Hinoki is preserved and brought to life in products ranging from bath mats to incense. Acting as stewards of the local forests and lakes, the woodworkers at Tosaryu use sustainable methods of production to create functional, safe, and earth-friendly pieces.
