Shuro Broom by Yamamoto Katsunosuke Shoten

Shuro brooms, crafted by Yamamoto Katsunosuke Shoten in Wakayama, Japan, have a rich history dating back to the Edo period (1603 – 1868). These brooms are more than cleaning tools—they are a testament to Japanese craftsmanship and sustainable living.

Made with natural shuro fibers, known for their thin, elastic, and supple nature, these brooms have been valued for centuries across various industries for their unparalleled strength and durability.

• Efficient and Quiet
  Thin, flexible fibers trap even the smallest dust particles, and their quiet operation ensures no disturbance to babies, family members, or neighbors.
• Natural Shine
  Leaves floors and tatami mats with a natural wax effect thanks to the broom’s oil content.
• Versatile & Long-Lasting
  Ideal for all surfaces, with a lifespan of over 20 years with proper care.
• Eco-Friendly & Durable
  Crafted from resilient, water-resistant shuro bark, promoting sustainable living.
• Handcrafted by Artisans in Japan
  Each broom is meticulously crafted by skilled artisans at Yamamoto Katsunosuke Shoten, ensuring authentic quality and tradition.

The unique oil content of shuro fibers prevents dust from being blown into the air, providing a cleaner environment and leaving surfaces with a beautiful, natural wax shine. Unlike modern cleaning tools, shuro brooms become more efficient with use. As the tips wear and warp, a simple trim restores their effectiveness, making them a lifelong companion in your home.
