This cutting board from Kyoto Katsugu 京都活具 is made from Tōno Hinoki, a high‑grade Japanese cypress grown in the Urakiso region. Straight‑grained hinoki is valued for its fine, even texture, natural anti‑bacterial properties and gentle aroma. Its moderate hardness is kind to knife edges, giving a pleasant feel and helping blades stay sharper for longer.

The board is cut thin and relatively light for its size, making it easy to lift, drain and dry, while the wide surface helps ingredients stay on the board rather than falling off. Knife marks gradually blend into the surface when the board is dampened, a characteristic of good hinoki. An excellent partner for Japanese knives and everyday cooking.
