Kiso Lifestyle Labo preserves the legacy of the Kiso hinoki cypress, one of Japan’s most revered trees. Grown in the cold, mountainous Kiso region, central Japan, these trees take three times longer to mature than regular cypress, producing exceptionally dense, durable wood. This prized material has supported structures like Horyuji Temple, the world’s oldest wooden building, for over 1,300 years and remains a cornerstone of Japan’s woodworking tradition.
Tree to Green, the company behind Kiso Lifestyle Labo, designs and distributes bath and kitchen products made from this remarkable wood. Their Kiso Lifestyle Labo line includes bath stools, barrels, mats, and aromatic wooden goods, while the Wood-EN collection highlights tableware created by Rokuro artisans, traditional Japanese woodcraftsmen.
By using only Japanese wood and supporting traditional craftsmanship, Kiso Lifestyle Labo promotes sustainable forestry while preserving the artistry of Japanese woodworking. Their creations offer a modern connection to centuries-old techniques, bringing the beauty and functionality of Kiso hinoki into daily life.
