Natural antibacterial and antifungal cypress bath pail

Famous for its natural antibacterial and antifungal properties, cypress (hinoki) is traditionally used as natural construction materials around plumbing and in damp areas in Japan. This Hinoki Bath Pail are made with cypress from Shimanto in Kochi Prefecture, which is famous for its waterproof properties. Because no artificial antimicrobial chemicals are used in production, direct contact with food and skin is perfectly safe.

Garrison’s hinoki products also help to revitalize forests and prevent global warming. After cheap imported timber began to flood the Japanese market, Kochi’s cedar plantations fell into neglect. In order to foster diverse regrowth, trees need to be thinned to allow light to reach the forest floor.
