In the story of Susano no Mikoto of Chronicles of Japan, Hinoki teaches the palace, cedar and Cinnamomum camphora to the boat, and Maki to the coffin. This is well consistent with the actual usage since ancient times by archaeological surveys. Our ancestors know about trees, and we are only surprised at the certainty of the eyes they choose.

　In particular, the reason why cypress was used in buildings is because it is a tree that is easy to break and very easy to handle for ancient sawmills, and it loves beautiful bark and loves its fragrance. Knowing what the most wonderful building structural material is among the trees, using trees that are easy to cut out for boats, and using trees that are very strong against water for coffins, the right use of suitable materials is very suitable for Japanese people. It tells us that it is a ethnic group with a rich wood culture that has been familiar with trees since ancient times.

　Our ancestors have also had many mythical traditions related to trees since ancient times, and trees have been the object of faith. In this world, there was a "God of the Spirit" (Ubusunagami) and believed that he would give the soul to the mountains and rivers. Axe's blade, which cuts trees in the mountains, has three and four streaks. This is Miki = sake, and four are yoki = ground water breeze, meaning the delicacies of the mountains and seas, five grains. It is said that the Axe was leaned against a tree before worshiping it. Because they could not serve alcohol or five grains in the mountains, they were carved into the blade of Axe instead.

　In addition, many of the temples and shrines were sacred tree, and worshiped by "shimenawa" on a large tree of moss-musing cedar and kusu. It is said that the Japanese lived surrounded by the spirit of the tree and the spirit of the tree.

　coniferous tree, such as cypress and cedar, has the freshness of Japanese culture. And as we like the fragrant white wood skin, we have loved the bark that tickles over time, as we call it "sabi." In addition, the appeal of the bark is that the sense of aesthetics can be further enhanced by the clearness of the chisel. Unlike the West-like treatment that paints the surface, the simple treatment of Japan's unique rustic wood is shown in the finish. The simplicity of wood is affixed to human skin with mysterious power.
