Japanese Takada Handy Broom with Cypress Handle

Meet Japanese Takada Handy Broom with Cypress Handle, handcrafted by Takada's artisans in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan. It is a durable sweep broom made with the finest windmill palm fibers using centuries-old techniques and complete with a Japanese Cypress handle. Consider pairing it with Takada's small wooden dustpan sold separately here.

The palm is harvested using organic techniques in Kishu and assembled by artisans in Wakayama, Japan. The bark of the windmill palm tree called "Shuro" in Japanese has been one of the familiar materials to the people of Japan since old times, and its flexible and soft texture has been utilized for brooms and scrub brushes, called "Tawashi" in Japanese.

Takada's artisans have been handcrafting "Tawashi" with uniform texture one at a time, using only the finest, carefully-selected materials for some seventy years.
