These are the “Corner Tawashi” and “Sasara Brush,” both made from shuro palm fibers.

Tawashi brushes made from natural shuro palm have fibers with just the right firmness and flexibility.
They can be safely used on delicate items such as glassware, cups, or non-stick pans without scratching them.

When carefully selected, shuro fibers are soft enough to use even for body care, gentle to the touch on the skin.

Their soft texture and resilient bounce are unique to shuro palm.

A tawashi is also an important tool for caring for baskets and colanders. Its bristles easily slip into the weave, sweeping away fine dust and scrubbing out hidden dirt.

Even basket artisans who work with akebi vine or wild grape often say, “Nothing cleans a basket like a tawashi.” We also recommend this brush for basket care.

Whether scrubbing dishes or vegetables, or polishing baskets and colanders, the tawashi has long remained an essential tool in the kitchen and home.

On this page, we introduce two types: the Corner Tawashi, perfect for cleaning corners,
and the Sasara Brush, ideal for washing frying pans.

The makers told us that the Sasara can also be used for laundry—especially for cleaning collars or cuffs.
Apply a small amount of detergent to the Sasara and gently scrub;
the soft shuro fibers will lift the dirt. Please test carefully depending on the fabric.

After use, remove any debris from the tip, shake off excess water thoroughly,
and place it on a draining rack to dry.

It’s a tool that reaches where your hands can’t.
It may seem like a small thing, but the comfort of being able to clean exactly
what you want with just the right tool brings quiet joy to everyday life.

Please check the sizes and choose your preferred one.
