Japanese Shuro Hand Brush

Japanese Shuro Hand Brush
£13.50
Ex Tax: £11.25

A small brush for table-tops and small spaces — this little brush is made in Japan from the palm fibres of Trachycarpus fortune (otherwise known as shuro), bound together with copper wire. Great for careful sweeping of bonsai and other potted plants, corners of terraces and patios, ground covers such as moss and mind your own business, and in the home. The chunky handle gives a satisfying grip, and the palm fibres provide the perfect balance of coarseness for some serious sweeping. The angled profile allows for broader sweeps as well as more careful, shorter ones. Measures around 170 x 90mm.

Care Advice

Keep dry when not in use. In the case of wet-use brushes, please shake any excess moisture from the bristles, and dry hanging up or on a surface with the bristles facing down. Clean brushes only when necessary with a little dish soap and hot water, making sure to dry thoroughly. Condition the wooden surface every now and then with a beeswax furniture polish, or mineral oil, to prevent cracks or splitting.
