Hiba: A Tree Native to Japan

Hiba (scientific name: Thujopsis dolabrata) is a coniferous tree of the cypress family that grows wild in Honshu and Hokkaido. "Aomori Hiba" from the Shimokita Peninsula in Aomori Prefecture is particularly famous, and is counted as one of Japan's three most beautiful forests. Known for its durability and unique fragrance, it has been used since ancient times for temple and shrine construction, bathtub material, and insect repellent. Alongside Hinoki (Japanese cypress), it has long been a beloved "fragrant wood of Japan."
