HANDCARVED IN JAPAN

These charming brooms are made from the bark of the windmill palm, or Shuro, with a Japanese cypress handle. The delicate fibres sweep away dirt and dust without the risk of scratching surfaces.
In Japan, where cleanliness is a key virtue, such brooms have been part of everyday life since ancient times. And with such elegant form, this is one broom that you’ll want to hang on the wall when not in use.

Takada

Japanese firm Takada has been creating household goods since 1948. Their speciality is Shuro Tawashi, the traditional Japanese brushes and brooms made from the bark of the windmill palm tree. After a period of overharvesting by large corporations, Takada has successfully reintroduced these trees, which grow naturally in the Kishu area (Wakayama prefecture) of Japan.

With all natural raw materials, Takada brushes, brooms and dustpans are handmade by talented craftsmen using techniques from times gone by. These craftsmen believe that household products should be a source of joy and of pleasure to the user while care is taken to protect – and nurture – the environment.
