Kiso Hinoki Cypress Soap Dish

Sure, Japan is into big things but it's much more into the details: for every major tourist attraction that find its way onto your social media feed, there are at least half a dozen smaller things that will make your visit to Japan even more unforgettable and unique. The Kiso Hinoki Cypress Soap Dish is one such item: you probably won't give it a second thought when you first see it but the dish transforms the space around it. Take a closer look, touch it, and use it to understand why. And when you do, you'll want it to become an inseparable part of your bathtime routine!

Hinoki cypress is the wood of preference for anything related to bathing in Japan, starting from the bathtubs themselves and moving on to the buckets, stools, and even smaller accessories like the Kiso Hinoki Cypress Soap Dish. Made in Kiso, a city in Nagano Prefecture deep in the mountains of central Japan, by craftspeople who have perfected their woodworking skills in the many onsen hot springs of the area, this little gem measures just 120 x 85 x 25 mm (4.7 x 3.3 x 1") and with a concave shape so your soap won't slip. It fits perfectly next to your bathtub, giving it a little piece of the magic of a Nagano onsen!
