Exclusivity Note: Each Manaita is handcrafted from natural Hinoki wood, so subtle variations in grain and appearance are part of what makes every piece one of a kind.

The Manaita Square Large is conceived as a full prep platform, a substantial Hinoki wood Japanese cutting board with clean right angles and reassuring thickness.

Its generous square surface keeps vegetables, fish fillets, and meat trimming organized without crowding the blade, giving you clear control over each movement.

The fine, straight Hinoki grain is gentle on knives, protecting fine edges from premature wear while delivering clean, precise feedback.

Hinoki’s natural oils contribute to odor resistance and balanced moisture resilience on a non-toxic board free from added chemicals, built for confident, uninterrupted work.

More Information

Premium Hinoki from Sustainable Forests
Made from carefully selected Hinoki wood, this square cutting board reflects the natural strength, lightness, and refined beauty for which Japanese cypress is so highly valued.
The timber comes from responsibly managed mountain forests, offering a more sustainable choice for the modern kitchen.
Designed for Japanese Knives and Chef Knives
Hinoki is appreciated for a surface that feels resilient yet forgiving under the blade.
Its natural softness helps reduce impact during cutting, making it especially well suited to Japanese knives and chef knives, while helping minimize small nicks and unnecessary edge wear over time.
Naturally Antibacterial Qualities
Hinoki cypress is known not only for its fresh, clean aroma, but also for its inherent antibacterial properties.
When dry, it is said to release hinokitiol, a naturally occurring compound associated with insect-repellent qualities, a feature long appreciated in traditional Japanese kitchen tools.
