This is a palm kitchen brush made by Broom Craft, a workshop in Wakayama. You can use detergent with it, and the flexibility of the palm will quickly remove oily stains and other stuck-on dirt from your dishes. The ends are cut diagonally and flat, so you can use them in different ways. The company is Fukami Sangyo, which has been making palm ropes in Kainan, Wakayama Prefecture. Broom Craft was launched in 2020 to use the same palm to make traditional tools such as brooms. Kainan was originally a major producer of everyday items such as scrubbing brushes and brooms. Utilizing the procurement routes and discerning skills cultivated through palm rope production in this area, the company produces easy-to-use and beautiful cleaning tools using selected palm. *Please be careful not to scrub too hard as this may cause scratches.
