Shuro brooms have a rich history dating back to the Edo period (1603 – 1868) in Japan. These brooms are not just cleaning tools; they are a testament to Japanese craftsmanship and sustainable living. The shuro fibers, known for their thin, elastic, and supple nature, have been historically used in various industries such as fishing, transportation, and construction due to their unparalleled strength and durability.

  • Efficient and Quiet  Thin, flexible fibers trap even the smallest dust particles, and quiet operation won’t disturb babies, family members, or neighbors.
  • Natural Shine  Leaves floors and tatami mats with a natural wax effect due 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  Made from resilient, water-resistant shuro bark, promoting sustainable living.
  • Handcrafted in Japan  Authentic craftsmanship from Wakayama ensures high 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.

Embrace a piece of Japanese heritage and sustainability with our shuro broom, a tool that combines traditional wisdom with modern functionality. Discover the difference a handcrafted, natural fiber broom can make in your daily cleaning routine.

The shuro broom is a work of art and I'm having trouble using it to sweep for the first time :)
I have it hanging on the wall by our entry so I can enjoy seeing it all day.
I will try it out soon!

I’m obsessed with this beautiful broom! I don’t know whether to sweep with it all day long, display as a work of art, or just fly away on it. Also shipping to my us location was reasonable and didn’t take too long! Love this tool!

Broom or art piece? I love the tradition, craft, utility and beauty of the sharu broom and its much smaller table top cousin. Excellent on our hardwood floors but also good on tile. These are the only brooms we have that don't live in our broom or utility closets.

Beautiful broom! I was looking all over the internet for one of these and got really lucky finding this shop. This broom is really high quality, and you can really see the attention to detail and the fine craftsmanship with how it was made. Functions really well, and I think this will last me many years. Not just a functional piece, but decorative as well. I’m excited to purchase another one of these for a good friend soon! I think she will love it. Thank you so much!!
