Thuja standishii (Japanese Thuja; [nezuko, kurobe] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)) is a species of thuja, an evergreen coniferous tree in the cypress family Cupressaceae. It is native to southern Japan, where it occurs on the islands of Honshū and Shikoku. It is a medium-sized tree, reaching 20-35 m tall and with a trunk up to 1 m diameter.
The foliage forms in flat sprays with scale-like leaves 2-4 mm long, matte green above, and with narrow white stomatal bands below. The cones are oval, yellow-green ripening red-brown, 6-12 mm long and 4-5 mm broad (opening to 8 mm broad), with 6-10 overlapping scales.
It is an important timber tree in Japan, grown in forestry plantations for its durable, waterproof, attractively scented wood.
