Hinoki cypress

日替わりコメンテーターによる解説で日々のニュースを掘り下げるブラッシュアップ。毎週水曜日は RKB NEWS DIG 高藤晃子編集長です。高藤さん、おはようございます。

おはようございます。今日はこちらの記事ご紹介します。読みたい本を届けたい長時間滞在型や配達今、自治体の図書館が熱い。読書の秋ということで、今日は図書館の話題をお届けします。今日去年 11月に移転オープンした福岡県築上町の町立図書館。開館後の利用者が 8倍に増えたそうです。一方、筑後市では来館できない人を対象に始めたあるサービスが好評です。一体どんな図書館なんでしょうかということを記者が取材してます。はい。福岡県築上町にあるのは町立図書館、きづきの森町役場の築地書を改修してオープンしました。周囲は田んぼ風景の中に建ってます。ちょっとイメージ膨らみますか。中に入ると吹き抜けの開放的な空間。地元産の檜で覆われていて、明るくて森のような雰囲気です。白木と白を基調したような、光が降り注いでくるような。

温かみがある感じですね。

移転オープンから半年で来館者数 10万人に達しました。人気の秘密の一つが、 1階にある遊べる本棚、本棚にトンネルですとか、滑り台、子供用のボルダリングまで取り付けられていて、まさにその遊具と本棚が一体になっているということで、遊びながら本に触れられる仕掛けとなっています。

Yes, that's right.

So, Hinoki, of course, is a type of cypress and a Japanese cypress, where the original studies were done by King Lee, who is part of the Nippon Medical School in Tokyo.

And he repeated this.

What he did is take people initially into three days in the forest and gave them immersion in the forest.

But it's also been shown that it isn't simply the phytoncides from Cyprus or Hinoki, that almost all trees give off phytoncides.

Some codifers, pine, cedar, spruce, fir, more than others, but all trees give off phytoncides.

which are, again, aromatic oils that you breathe in.

OK.

So it's it's Hinoki wood and Hinoki wood is like naturally antibacterial.

and it smells incredible it's what they use to make a lot of like the um baths and stuff if you get a hinoki wood bath it's like really fancy but it smells amazing but it's naturally antibacterial so it's good for like keeping clean and stuff like that um but yeah so i got the shopping i was thrilled with also flat useful yeah um i bought i got a lot of like um um stray kids stuff as per usual do my little collection of albums um I got a couple of new albums and I got some older ones second hand as well um but what I love about getting albums in um Japan is that you always get lucky draws so when you buy an album so I went to HMV this time and you get um your lucky draw.

So I got a lucky draw poster, like a leaflet poster with one of the members on.

So I've been buying these bottles without actually smelling them beforehand.

So I got the Bergamot and Hinoki one next.

I will say, I love the color of this bottle, first of all.

I much prefer the Neroli and Basil one.

My coworker doesn't believe this.

I'm currently building a bathroom bench at a Port Orford Cedar, which is a substitute for Hinoki in Japan.

My plan is to leave the bench unfinished.

I'm fairly proficient with a Kana.

I used to have like a little like Japanese shakuhachi soundtrack.

I should be playing that right now.

From the traditional Japanese point of view, there is a long tradition in Japan of leaving Hinoki bath components unfinished, including tubs, stools, benches, even wall paneling.

A surface cut with a very sharp plane is noticeably different from a sanded surface.
