About
In both Japanese bath houses and homes, hinoki bath buckets, or oke, are used when bathing to rinse the body with water after lathering up with soap or body wash.
Available with both traditional copper and stainless steel rings, the Kiso Lifestyle Labo Hinoki Bath Bucket is as stylish as it is functional. Use this bucket to evoke the spirit of bathing in Japan at home. We also love this bucket for storing odds and ends. They make the perfect home for your collection of Amayori products.
For an added touch, each bucket has the Kiso Lifestyle Labo name seal embossed on its bottom side.

The Maker
Based in Nagano Prefecture among the majestic hinoki trees of the Kiso region, Kiso Lifestyle Labo is known for its clean, minimalist renditions of Japan’s traditional bathing accessories.
The Ritual
- Use this bucket to bathe in the Japanese manner – by splashing water over the body, especially the shoulders and back. As you do so, feel your cares and worries being washed away.
- After a bath, use this bucket for a final rinse in the tub once the water has been drained out.
- This bucket can also be used to hold personal care items or anything else, for that matter. Let your imagination take hold...
Care
Keep out of direct sunlight. Do not wash with soap – just a quick rinse in water will do. Wipe the wood and copper fittings dry with a soft cloth after use.
