Medium brush: as a scouring brush and sponge alternative for scrubbing pots and pans, especially well suited for cleaning cast iron dishes due to the tough but gentle nature of the bristles. Small brush: a sponge alternative for washing glasses. Takada’s aim is to preserve the traditional shuro palm industry within Japan as well as the unique techniques of superior craftsmen which have been passed down for generations.

No chemicals such as pesticides or disinfectants are used on the trees during this process. The shuro palm bark is harvested from trees grown using organic farming methods in the Wakayama Prefecture in Japan. Made using traditional techniques honed over centuries and crafted from carefully selected palm bark, each brush is made using the highest quality materials. Handcrafted in Japan by Takada, each Tawashi brush is made by skilled artisans who have been making windmill palm, otherwise known as shuro, brushes and brooms in the Takada workshop for over 70 years. Each brush comes with a hanging loop for easy hanging and drying when not in use. The scouring ability of the tough, natural bristles means that a little washing up liquid or soap can go a long way. The tough palm fibres ensure exceptional durability and make these brushes a natural alternative that will outlast synthetic sponges. Made from bark from the windmill palm, these traditional Japanese scrubbing brushes, known as Tawashi, are a traditional staple in many Japanese households.ĭespite their appearance, these brushes are softer than they look making them suitable for a variety of uses from gently scrubbing fruits and vegetables to cleaning pots and pans.

A natural alternative to a synthetic sponge, these durable yet gentle brushes are the perfect all-around cleaning tool.
