NATURAL MATERIAL

Fine, flexible and strong.

SHURO has long been used
throughout everyday life in Japan.

Fine and flexible, with a gentle touch.
Yet it lifts away dirt and dust with confidence.
And the more you use it, the more familiar it feels in your hand.

From body care to the kitchen and cleaning,
we choose materials suited to each purpose
and shape them into tools for daily life.

Brooms & Cleaning Tools

BROOM & CLEANING TOOLS

Made from fine, flexible SHURO fibers, our brooms sweep without sending dust flying and are gentle on floors. Use them on wooden floors, tatami and rugs; as they wear, they can move on to outdoor use. With good care, they can serve for 10 or 20 years, changing roles along the way.

03 / CRAFT

The value
of craftsmanship.

No two natural fibers are exactly alike. Our artisans assess each material and shape it into a useful tool by hand.

FORM & FUNCTION

Simple beauty,
guided by function.

Our tools are designed to be used, not merely displayed. Yet because we see them every day, we believe their appearance matters too.

LONG LIFE

Tools that grow
with everyday use.

A broom can move from indoor floors to the entryway and eventually to the garden, taking on new roles throughout its long life.
