A simple form that rests across the bath, crafted from straight-grain Hinoki—designed for balance, function, and quiet pause.
Honoring the stillness and rituals of the bath, the caddy offers a simple surface to hold what brings ease to the moment—shaped with restraint, and a sensitivity to use.
A subtle rear lip, quietly integrated into the form, helps keep objects gently in place. The design is minimal, yet carefully considered—guided by a balance between function and restraint.
Each caddy is made entirely from masame (straight-grain) Hinoki—an exceptionally rare and refined cut of the wood, chosen for its clarity, stability, and quiet elegance. The continuous, parallel grain creates a smooth, uninterrupted surface, enhancing both visual harmony and strength. Crafted with precision, it reveals a calm, unified expression that allows the material to speak.
Sourced from the sacred forests of the Kii Mountains, Hinoki is cherished for its smooth texture, warm tone, and gentle fragrance. Prized in Japan for centuries, this wood offers remarkable resistance to moisture and decay. Left uncoated to preserve its natural scent and luster, Hinoki lends a serene clarity to everyday rituals of bathing and rest.
Elastomer strips are included and may be applied to the underside as needed for added stability, depending on the bathtub surface and placement.

Care
Hinoki wood products are left uncoated to highlight their natural beauty, unique grain, and distinct fragrance. Regular care is essential to prevent mold and stains, especially when used in humid areas. With proper maintenance, you can enjoy the lasting charm of your Hinoki products for years.
• When washing, rinse with lukewarm water using a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive pads as they may cause fine scratches.
• If using detergent, choose a mild or neutral one. Harsh detergents can cause black stains and discoloration.
• After washing, wipe thoroughly with a dry cloth and allow the Hinoki to air dry in a well-ventilated, low-humidity area.
• Avoid exposing Hinoki to high temperatures or direct sunlight as this can cause cracking and warping.
• For tough stains, gently sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper.
• Hinoki's resin may surface, resulting in stickiness. If bothersome, clean with a neutral detergent or rubbing alcohol.
Important Notes:
Anti-Slip Strips (Included)
Four elastomer anti-slip strips are included with your bath caddy. If desired, apply them to the areas where the caddy comes into contact with the bathtub edge to improve stability. Placement can be adjusted depending on your bathtub size and preference.
If Warping Occurs
If you notice the caddy beginning to warp, lightly wet both sides and place it upright in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight. Allowing both sides to dry evenly will help reduce warping.
