Broom Craft: Shuro Kitchen Brushes and Trivets from Wakayama - Connecting Wakayama's Tradition to the Future - Shuro Tools for Everyday Life "Broom Craft" is a brand launched in 2020 by Shinkai Sangyo, a company that has manufactured shuro (hemp palm) ropes in Kainan City, Wakayama Prefecture for many years, with the aim of preserving dwindling traditions for the future.

A major feature of this brand is that the "real perspective of users," primarily housewives who are also artisans, is incorporated into product development. A prime example of this is their kitchen brush, which generously uses natural shuro.

This brush, born from the artisans' own desire for "greater ease of use" in their daily chores, is most characterized by its diagonally cut bristles.

This exquisite angle allows it to perfectly fit the curves of frying pans and pots, effectively scrubbing away stubborn grease and grime. Furthermore, in terms of manufacturing, it employs a unique patented method that prevents bristles from shedding by folding and bundling the fibers, ensuring high durability to withstand daily dishwashing. Broom Craft's kitchen brushes, which combine the natural flexibility and resilience inherent in the traditional shuro material with meticulous innovations tailored to modern life, are reliable tools that comfortably support daily kitchen tasks.

After cooking curry, stew, or oily dishes, you often find greasy plates and frying pans.
Instead of washing them directly with a sponge, first use the shuro kitchen brush to remove the bulk of the dirt. Then, finish with your usual sponge. This will help prevent oil and grease from transferring to the next plates or glasses.
Pre-cleaning before using a sponge will make your dishwashing routine much more comfortable.

Utilizing the flexibility and firmness unique to natural shuro fibers, it thoroughly cleans grease and stubborn residues.
Not only for dishes and cooking utensils, but also for cleaning around the sink, this reliable brush is an indispensable tool for daily kitchen chores.

A 2-way type with a flat-cut side and an angled slanted-cut side.
You can switch between them depending on the dirt and what you are washing.
*Patent No. 7448245 (P7448245)


The flat-cut surface allows for thorough cleaning with its broad area.


Fits perfectly to the curve of pots and frying pans. Use the diagonally cut side for oily stains.


After washing dishes and cooking utensils, you can also use it to clean around the sink.
Since it's a compact brush, you can easily use it for sink corners and stubborn stains. It can also be used with detergent, so you can switch as needed for different types of dirt.

Convenient 2-way design with different bristle shapes on each end.

No need to switch brushes, just flip it over. This is a unique Broom Craft innovation that allows one tool to handle various washing tasks.

[Flat-cut side]

The bristles make contact with a wide surface, making it easy to remove stubborn dirt and convenient for cleaning flat items like cutting boards.
It's useful for various kitchen tasks such as removing mud from vegetables and washing peels.

[Diagonal-cut side]

What characterizes Broom Craft's kitchen brushes is the diagonal cut, created by artisans with usability in mind.
By angling the bristles, it's easier to follow curved surfaces that are difficult to reach with a flat brush, such as the bottom of frying pans and pots, and the boundary between the bottom and sides.
Use this side when you want to remove oily stains. You can use the brush's angle to target specific areas that need cleaning.

Flexible and durable. "Shuro" has been used in daily life since ancient times.

Shuro (hemp palm) is a type of palm tree that grows in warm regions. The fibrous bark covering its trunk is strong and has been used for centuries as a material for daily tools such as ropes, scrub brushes, and brooms. The shuro industry has flourished in Wakayama since ancient times, with records of "shuro bark" as a product appearing in the "Kii-no-Kuni Meisho Zue" (Illustrated Guide to Famous Places in Kii Province) published in 1851.

Shuro fiber is a natural material with both flexibility and resilience. Leveraging these properties, it is crafted into brushes that are easy to use in the daily kitchen.

Approximately 12cm in length, 5cm in width.
A short size that is easy to handle for daily dishwashing and detailed cleaning.

The shuro kitchen brush combines the rustic texture of natural materials with practical utility for daily kitchen tasks.

Because it's a thoughtful kitchen item you might not typically choose for yourself, it's also perfect as a thoughtful, no-fuss small gift.

It's suitable for small tokens of appreciation or greetings, as well as gifts for housewarmings, moving, Mother's Day, and more. It's a practical gift that can be used casually in everyday life.
