Yamamoto Katsunosuke Shoten 4-Ball Kojin Broom and Dustpan Set (Small) | Palm Broom, Handmade by Craftsmen in Wakayama, Japan, Indoor, Tabletop, Car C

Founded in 1880, "Kaneichi" is a beloved company that continues to uphold the legacy of its founder, Katsunosuke Yamamoto, manufacturing and selling Kishu's specialty mountain products such as palm fiber brooms and medicinal ingredients like sansho pepper. This set includes a four-ball broom and a dustpan, perfect for quick and easy cleaning. The broom is ideal for cleaning small spaces like tables with breadcrumbs and shelves with dust. It's perfect for busy people who do housework mainly at night, and for households with babies or pets, offering an eco-friendly cleaning lifestyle with a quiet, floor-friendly broom. The dustpan, made by Shirakiya Denbei using washi paper coated with persimmon tannin, is made from natural materials, making it less prone to static electricity, and dust and debris fall easily into the trash. Its thin 1mm opening ensures minimal missed spots. A palm fiber cord is included.

Place of Origin: Wakayama Prefecture Size: 4-Ball Kojin Broom (Medium): Approx. W20 x H27cm; Dustpan (Small): Approx. W20 x D20 x H7cm, Opening Thickness: 1mm Material: 4-Ball Kojin Broom (Medium): Palm fiber (bristles), bamboo (handle), copper wire (winding); Dustpan (Small): Washi paper (persimmon tannin finish) / bamboo Before First Use: Because natural palm fiber is used, powder will fall from the broom when you first start using it. It will be easier to use if you remove as much powder as possible at the beginning. Please note that using it on tatami mats or carpets initially may cause powder to fall and could be counterproductive. Storage Method: Palm fiber brooms are said to last 10 or 20 years if cared for properly, but leaning them against the floor will cause the bristles to become misshapen. After use, please hang it on a wall or similar for storage.
