Umezawa
Founded in Japan’s Mie Prefecture in 1939, Umezawa specializes in handcrafted wooden bath accessories made from responsibly sourced Hinoki cypress, a fragrant, oil-rich wood prized for its durability and resistance to mildew. The company is a chief supplier of stools and buckets to Japan’s beloved onsen hot-spring inns, and allows home users to enjoy the same products—simple, long-lasting, and uplifting—from the comfort of their own bath.
