Takada

Sasara Tawashi Brush

A deceptively soft natural brush made from windmill palm fibers. Soft enough to clean fruits and vegetables, gentle enough for your best glassware, but firm and tough enough to clean well-used pots and pans. The palm is harvested using organic techniques in Japan by craftspeople, and assembled by artisans in Wakayama, Japan. A high quality and versatile brush. 4.25 in | Palm Fibers | Produced in Wakayama, Japan. Tawashi are traditional brushes made from the fibers of the windmill palm. For centuries such brushes have been used in Japan for cleaning pots and dishes. For some seventy years, Takada's artisans have been handcrafting Tawashi one at a time, using only the finest, carefully-selected materials harvested from trees cultivated in Wakayama Prefecture, in southwestern Japan. Despite appearances, these brushes are astonishingly soft, making them as suitable for bathing as they are for scrubbings fruits and vegetables, imparting a gentle, pleasing and invigorating sensation to your skin.
