Japanese artisans have been producing beautiful handmade grass brooms for hundreds of years. Not only are they durable, functional tools, but the design and craftsmanship make them beautiful objects to hang on the wall of any home.
About
Even in villages where broom making has been more popular than before the Meiji era, the number of craftsmen has decreased due to the spread of vacuum cleaners. However, older makers in their 80s and 90s are still making brooms. Currently, it is made using both imported broom grass and local broom grass.
