This is a rare domestically produced palm broom made from carefully selected palm fiber.
Without using copper wire at the shoulder section, the palm fiber is braided in a three-strand pattern, enhancing the design while maintaining sufficient strength.
Palm fibers are fine, resilient, and flexible.
Taking advantage of these characteristics, the palm broom catches dust and dirt without stirring them up into the air.
It is suitable for tatami mats, flooring, as well as room corners and stairs that vacuum cleaners cannot reach.
With proper care, this is an exceptional piece that can be cherished for many years to come.

What is palm?

This is a palm family plant, a dioecious evergreen tall tree. The trunk stands upright and can reach about 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 numerous 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 making ropes, brooms, and scrubbing brushes. Palm rope is used not only for constructing bamboo fences but also for 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, craftsmen handcraft each piece individually, incorporating our own unique manufacturing techniques. By braiding palm fibers into a three-strand pattern instead of using copper wire at the shoulder section, we enhance the design while maintaining sufficient strength.
