Nakatsu Broom - Soot Broom This broom is characterized by its long, slender, and flexible bristles. It is ideal for gently dusting shelves, appliances, and in narrow gaps. By flattening the bristles, it can also be used to sweep dust from wider surfaces. 《About》 Nakatsu Broom is a broom created to suit modern lifestyles, based on traditional techniques. In Nakatsu, Aikawa-cho, Aikou-gun, Kanagawa Prefecture (formerly Nakatsu Village), broom-making techniques have been passed down for about 150 years. Nakatsu Broom preserves and develops these techniques, creating brooms that clean various modern settings. The broomcorn material is self-produced without pesticides, and the entire manufacturing process is done by hand by artisans. The broom bristles are carefully aligned one by one to maximize the softness of the material. They are characterized by their firmness and resistance to breakage. The more you use it, the more it conforms to your hand, gently sweeping up dirt and dust without damaging tatami mats or flooring. 《Craftsman》 Nobutomo Imai Nakatsu Broom Maker Moved by the appeal of Nakatsu brooms and the people involved in their creation, he began making brooms at Machizukuri Sanjo in February 2022, hoping to share that appeal with as many people as possible. Since 2022, his work has been selected for the Japan Folk Crafts Museum Exhibition. 《SIZE》 Φ5cm×H47cm 《WEIGHT》 50g 《MATERIAL》 Broomcorn ※Each product is handmade.
