Yes,and I think they are beautiful. I have one that I bought from a garden center last year, I wired it and potted it up and so far it has done okay. I don't think they like the heat and dry weather here. I keep the tree fairly shadded and water it as much as I do my Azalea.
There is a good one at:

I have the book that this image is in and was the reason I was interested in Hinoki's.
