Hinoki cypress from the Shimanto River basin is made into furniture!
A crystalline body of rich nature and Japanese culture.
In the basin of the Shimanto River in the southwestern part of Shikoku, the annual precipitation reaches two to three times that of Tokyo and Osaka. A Japanese and modern furniture brand using only Shimanto cypress, which has been nurtured by the benefits of this soil, has made its debut. The name of the brand is "SHIMANTO HINOKI FURNITURE WORKS (SHFW). We headed to Shimanto Town in late autumn to document the extremely honest craftsmanship of making something from local products and the natural beauty of Shimanto that attracts visitors so much.
