This is a tawashi brush made from shuro palm fibers, named “Musubi.”

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 the “Musubi” tawashi—
a unique shape unlike any other, made by linking two tawashi brushes together like a chain.

After use, remove any debris caught in the fibers, shake off the water thoroughly,
and place it on a draining rack to dry.

It is also recommended for basket care.
Over time, dust tends to collect on baskets and colanders,
but simply brushing them lightly with a tawashi like this keeps them in good condition.

Dust also tends to build up inside baskets.
Using a tawashi allows you to reach into the corners and weave, removing hidden dust and dirt.

Because you can change the angle and direction as you scrub,
it lets you clean precisely where needed—and it also helps the brush last longer.

According to the makers, this is their most popular tawashi.
Once you use it, you’ll understand why—it’s remarkably easy to handle.

With its playful design and practical use,
the “Musubi” tawashi is sure to become a helpful part of your daily life.
