Many customers choose to hang it on display—its natural texture and form blend effortlessly into modern and traditional interiors.

Crafted to Perfection
From choosing the right materials to tying every bristle, each step is done completely by hand in Japan. No machines, no shortcuts—just the touch of a true craftsman.

Finding bamboo straight enough for the handle is one of the hardest parts of the process. In nature, almost nothing grows perfectly straight—each piece chosen is rare and carefully prepared.
Lightweight Design
Weighing only around 5lbs, it’s light enough for quick touch-ups yet sturdy enough for deep, thorough cleans without it ever tiring your arms.
Premium Shuro
Made with natural shuro palm, grown only in a specific region of Japan, prized for its soft yet durable fibers that catch even the finest dust. Perfect for those who are sensitive to dust mite allergies.
Unmatched Longevity
With proper care, your Shuro broom can last over 20 years. A sustainable choice that outlives countless cheap, disposable alternatives.
Quiet Cleaning
No plugs, no motors, no noise. Just a peaceful, meditative sweep.
Flexible Bristles
The supple fibers bend easily, reaching smoothly into corners and along edges where vacuums often fail.
Pet Friendly
The natural oil in the fibers hold onto pet hair instead of scattering it, making cleanup quick and stress-free.
Natures Wax
The natural oils in shuro fibers lightly coat your hardwood floors as you sweep, leaving behind a soft, polished finish without chemicals.
No Two Brooms Alike
Each piece is handcrafted from naturally shaped bamboo and palm, making every broom one-of-a-kind.

The Making of a Shuro Broom
Behind every sweep lies weeks of drying, shaping, and hand-stitching. Discover the journey your broom has taken before reaching your home.
Month 1
Harvesting the Palm Bark
Shuro bark can only be gathered during a short time each year. Skilled hands take the fibers from grown palm trees and bring them to the workshop. Because it’s done so rarely, every harvest is precious.
Month 2-3
Drying, Sorting & Crafting the Core
The bark is dried in the sun for many weeks to make the fibers strong and rich in color. After drying, each strand is checked by hand, and only the best are chosen. The fibers are then softened, trimmed, and tied into a strong base — a slow process that makes the broom last.
Month 4
Layering, Stitching & Final Touches
Extra fibers are added one by one and shaped into the broom’s classic form. The broom is then stitched by hand with copper wire to make it strong. In the end, the maker checks every detail to be sure it’s ready to last for years.
