Hinoki Small Cutting Board

Made from hinoki wood harvested in Mie prefecture and then hand carved and finished by craftspeople in Ibaraki prefecture. 

Winner of the coveted Good Design Award in Japan. 

Many people focus their attention on buying a great knife, however use a hard cutting board such as those made from bamboo or plastic-- which then can cause the edges to quickly take a beating, even to chip. 

Hinoki addresses this issue as it is a medium-soft wood, and "gives" as you cut onto it. Hinoki wood also contains a natural chemical called hinokitinol which fights off insects, bacteria and mold. A treasured tree in Japan, it is often used to build temples and shrines. 

These cutting boards address the common complaint that wooden cutting boards take a long time to dry, by designing the edges in a diagonal so that there is less surface area touching the counter when it is drying. 

The edge also allows for easy collecting of cut food into your bowl, as there is an angeled drop-off. 

You can also pair with these stands that have been made specifically for these cutting boards, but also have several other grooves for other boards of different widths or your pot lids.
