In Japan, tawashi scrubbing brushes are generally used for housecleaning, but these tawashi, made from natural fibers, are intended to be used on the body. Lather up some soap and gently brush the skin to experience a massage-like effect that simply cannot be obtained using sponges or towels.

Tawashi are traditional brushes made from the fibers of the windmill palm. For centuries such brushes have been used in Japan for cleaning pots and dishes. For some seventy years, Takada’s artisans have been handcrafting tawashi one at a time, using only the finest, carefully-selected materials harvested from trees cultivated in Wakayama Prefecture, in southwestern Japan. Despite appearances, our brushes are in fact astonishingly soft, making them as suitable for bathing as they are for scrubbing fruits and vegetables.
