Hinoki Bath Stool

I am a Hinoki Bath Stool. Everyone comes early to get a good seat but you beat ‘em to the punch and came prepared. Now your bath time relaxation levels are at maximum potential.

Curator's Notes

Hinoki wood has a natural resin content, which makes it mold and mildew resistant and the ideal species of wood for the production of bathroom products. Traditionally used in Japanese bathhouses, these stools can be used in the bath or shower and were developed specifically for household bathrooms with its ideal size and special features.
