Koohii Story 1 "The Japanese cypress is a good tree to meet at: the Japanese covers the atmosphere and the cypress presses on any spies. Hey, I tried."
Koohii Story 2 "According to the Wikipedia article, Japanese cypress (hinoki) is grown for its high-quality wood, which is used in the building of ""temples, shrines, traditional noh theatres, baths"" etc. So, this tree is vital to the construction of many of the major meeting places in Japanese society. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamaecyparis_obtusa."
