The charm of cypress

Cypress grows slower than cedar and needs 50 to 60 years to be used as wood. In addition, thinning and pruning to grow straight trees requires more time and effort than cedar, but it is very suitable for houses in Japan where earthquakes are common because of its high strength and durability, and high strength in bending, compression, and pulling. The reason why it has been prized as a high-quality wood is that it has many things that Japan people like, such as its unique scent with a relaxing effect, its white and elegant color, and its soft feel. Since the ingredients of the fragrance also have antibacterial and insecticidal effects, they have long been used in areas where cleanliness is required, such as cutting boards and lunch boxes.
