This is our finest long-handled broom, made with Onige, an exceptionally strong and supple palm fiber that can only be harvested in small quantities from each sheet of bark.
Unlike regular palm fibers, Onige is naturally teased and combed, which means it produces almost no dust when used.
The fine fibers reach deep into the grooves of wooden floors or tatami mats, sweeping out even invisible dust without stirring it into the air.
Thanks to the natural oils in the fibers, this broom can also leave a gentle, natural sheen—like a wax-free polish effect.
As it requires no electricity, this broom is perfect for small spaces and environmentally conscious living.
How to Use
Because the broom is made from natural palm bark, you may notice some fine powder falling off when you first use it. We recommend shaking it out thoroughly before initial use to remove loose dust. To avoid scattering powder, please refrain from using it on tatami mats or carpets at first, as it may temporarily create more mess.
Caution
With proper care, the shuro broom can last 10 to 20 years. Avoid leaning it against the wall, as this may deform the fibers at the tip. Instead, hang it on a wall hook or nail to maintain its shape and prolong its life.
