This broom is made exclusively with “Onige”—the most prized portion of palm fiber.
Compared to standard shuro fibers, Onige is less processed (uncombed), making it far less prone to shedding powder. It is also significantly softer and more flexible, offering a smooth yet resilient sweep.
The fine natural fibers effortlessly reach into the crevices between tatami mats and wooden floorboards, while the natural oils in the fibers give surfaces a gentle, wax-free luster.
Thanks to its compact and flexible bristles, it excels even in tight corners—making it an ideal alternative to vacuum cleaners.
This eco-friendly tool, free from electricity, is gaining popularity among those embracing sustainable living.
This 11-Bundle broom is a limited-production piece, with only a few made per month, crafted entirely by hand.

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.
