This is a kitchen brush made from palm fiber.
It features a unique diagonal cut at the tip, carefully designed for easy cleaning. The flat surface can be used to tackle stubborn stains and clean around the sink area.
When washing dishes or frying pans with oil buildup, first remove the oil stains with this brush, then use a sponge for a smooth, non-sticky clean. (Excessive scrubbing may cause scratches)
What is palm?
This is a palm family plant, a dioecious evergreen tree. The trunk stands upright and reaches approximately 10 meters in height. The base of the long petiole forms a large leaf sheath, and the fibers that wrap around the trunk at the base of the leaf sheath become various palm products.
Characteristics of palm products
The fibers of palm bark are strong and possess excellent water resistance and corrosion resistance, which is why they have been used since ancient times for ropes, brooms, and scrubbing brushes. Palm rope is used for assembling bamboo fences and has a wide range of applications, including the cultivation of Sanriku wakame seaweed.
A palm broom with added originality
Based on the traditional methods of broom making, artisans handcraft each piece one by one, incorporating our own unique techniques that we have newly developed. Without using copper wire at the shoulder section, we braid palm fibers into a three-strand pattern, which enhances the design while maintaining sufficient strength.

Kainan City in Wakayama Prefecture is Japan's largest production area for household goods, which originated from the palm fiber industry that flourished from the Meiji period onward. Palm fibers are fine, resilient, and flexible. Palm brooms made utilizing these characteristics catch dust and dirt without stirring them up into the air. They are suitable not only for tatami mats and flooring but also for corners of rooms and stairs that vacuum cleaners cannot reach.
