This palm fiber hand broom with a leather handle is an exceptional piece that can be used for many years.
It easily cleans bread crumbs, eraser debris after children's study sessions, and not only tabletops, but also dust and dirt in window frames and stair corners where vacuum cleaners cannot reach.
What is palm?
It is a dioecious evergreen tall tree of the palm family. 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 ropes, brooms, and scrubbing brushes. Palm rope is used not only for assembling bamboo fences but also has wide-ranging applications, including the cultivation of Sanriku wakame seaweed.
A palm broom with added originality
Based on the traditional method of broom making, our artisans handcraft each piece one by one, incorporating our own unique manufacturing techniques. Instead of using copper wire for the shoulder section, we braid the palm fibers in a three-strand pattern, enhancing 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 onwards. Palm fibers are fine, resilient, and supple. Palm brooms that utilize these characteristics catch dust and dirt without causing them to scatter 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.
