Hello! This is Tomo from Nakayoshi Library!
In my last blog I wrote a little about Hinoki .
Introducing deeper Hinoki cypress !!
Here are three attractive features of the cypress used in the furniture at Nakayoshi Library! (^^)
A changeable chair made from the highest quality cypress
Charm #1: The scent is wonderful.
Cypress is famous for its wonderful scent.
It also has a relaxing and refreshing effect , and various products, such as aroma oils, have been developed.
This scent is the first thing that customers who purchase our furniture compliment us on.
The moment you receive your product and open the packaging, your room will be filled with the scent of cypress.
The scent of cypress also has an insect repellent effect .
Every time I take out my child's clothes, the scent is soothing (^^)
Charm No. 2: Beautiful wood grain
The bark of cypress wood is pale pink.
The grain of the wood is clear and when polished
The result is a silky smooth finish.
The gentle wood grain and color brighten up the atmosphere of the room.
It will not disrupt the interior of your living room or child's room.
Charm 3 and Weakness: Moderate hardness
Cypress is moderately hard compared to cedar, but
It is less hard than hardwoods such as oak and cherry.
Therefore, it is more prone to scratches than furniture made from hardwoods such as oak or beech.
This is the weak point of cypress.
However, we believe that this hardness is suitable for the type of children's furniture that we make.
Because it is not stiff and heavy, he is able to pick up and move a chair by himself , and he can also carry things in and out of toy boxes and clothing drawers by himself .
It is easily damaged and therefore easily broken.
That is not the case.
Horyuji Temple, which I introduced in my previous blog, has been supporting its buildings for 1,000 years.
It is said that the longer cypress stands, the stronger it becomes.
Let's cherish our tables and maintain them, even if they get scratched, and use them for a long time.
Maintenance methods are explained on the web.
This time we introduced three attractive features of cypress!
However, regarding the Hinoki wood used in the Nakayoshi Library,
There's still a lot of commitment!
It may be knot-free or made of natural wood .
The materials we use are carefully selected.
I'll introduce it on my blog again someday!
See you next time!!
