There are two types of tubs: a round tub that allows you to pour plenty of hot water over your shoulders, and a one-handed scoop that you can quickly scoop with one hand. Both of them have a traditional form that looks like a bucket that appears in ukiyo-e prints from the Edo period. When it gets wet with hot water, it becomes moist to the touch, and you can enjoy the gentle scent of natural wood that contains essential oils.
