Japanese Sasara Tawashi Brush, M

Meet our Japanese Sasara Tawashi Brush, M, made by artisans belonging to Takada in Wakayama Prefecture in Japan. The fine soft natural brush made from windmill palm fibers are soft enought to wash fruits and vegetables but firm enough to scrub pots and pans of its burnt-on residue.

The palm is harvested using organic techniques in Kishu and assembled by artisans in Wakayama, Japan. The bark of the windmill palm tree called "Shuro" in Japanese has been one of the familiar materials to the people of Japan since old times, and its flexible and soft texture has been utilized for brooms and scrub brushes, called "Tawashi" in Japanese.

Takada's artisans have been handcrafting "Tawashi" with uniform texture one at a time, using only the finest, carefully-selected materials for some seventy years.
