Hinoki Bath Bowl
- Beautiful bathing basin made by craftsmen
- Tools for Every Day Life
We use these basins for bathing, either at home or at the hot springs. In Japan the bath experience is strictly for relaxation, not for cleaning ourselves. We always clean ourselves in the shower before entering the bath both at home and at hot springs. Before shower were invented, we used this bucket to wash with. It is still common to have this type of bucket as it conserves water and it is also a nice ritual.
Hinoki wood has a high resistance to humidity and its oils naturally repel water. It is antibacterial and perfect for kitchens and baths.
Since this bucket is made of hinoki wood, it can be used for many other purposes including storage, chilling drinks in ice, etc.
Please note that sap naturally comes out of the wood. This does not stain or cause harm, it is part of the nature of the wood.

Japan-Best is first and foremost a story about Japanese craftsmen with the influence of contemporary design. We are inspired by the timeless beauty of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, and their ability to adapt to our modern lifestyle. The more brands we meet, the more passionate we become about the stories behind each product; the skills of the craftsmen, or the long tradition of an object left unchanged for generations yet somehow remaining contemporary.
Japan-Best is a collection of Japanese brands, which we have selected for the originality of their design, the quality of their production, the fact that their production is “Made in Japan”, and the long history that they maintain, quite often for several generations.
Our selection of Japanese food is also based on craftsmanship in agriculture. We choose brands based on how they are made and we love brands that continue to use traditional natural techniques to grow food and prepare it. Good packaging and design is always and added joy to find!
