Am I the only one who feels a sense of gentleness from cypress wood?  Its calming color, and the curves of the wood grain that appear when it's carved. It's a shame that I can't convey its fragrance to you through this photo.

ひのきにどこかやさしさを感じるのはわたしだけでしょうか？その穏やかな色、彫られたときにあらわれる木目の曲線たち。この写真で香りをお届けすることができないことが残念です。
