FUKAMI

“Bringing ecological living and a brighter future to the world.”

We have been involved in the greening materials business for more than 70 years since our establishment, and our motto is to provide good products to our customers. Although it is a common practice to provide good products to our customers, we have been told by our predecessors that we cannot produce good products if we fail to do what is obvious, namely, to “do the ordinary things thoroughly.

In these days when environmental problems caused by plastics have been widely discussed, our greening materials are environmentally friendly products that weatherize naturally and do not damage the environment, leading to the next generation.

SHURO HOKI / JAPANESE PALM BROOMS

About 300 years ago / 1700s / Edo Period (1603–1868)

Shuro brooms are made by bundling fibers from the bark of the windmill palm. They became common as tatami and wooden-floor homes spread in the Edo period, and palm-producing areas such as Wakayama preserved techniques for stripping, sorting and binding the fibers with wire.

In Japan, shuro brooms are being rediscovered because they are quiet, gentle on tatami and solid wood, and tend to gather fine dust without throwing it into the air. The fibers become softer through use, appealing to people interested in slower, careful household routines.

Palm fiber naturally contains a small amount of oil, and sweeping a wooden floor can gradually enhance its subtle sheen. The tool therefore cleans and lightly conditions the surface at the same time. It requires no electricity and almost no replaceable parts—a remarkably durable low-tech product.

Individual Differences

As each piece is individually handcrafted, slight variations in color, pattern, shape, and texture may occur. These subtle differences are a natural characteristic of handcrafted works, making each piece truly unique. We hope you will enjoy these individual variations as part of the beauty and character of Japanese craftsmanship.

Production Time

If an item is not currently in stock, it may be made to order by the artisan. As each piece is carefully handcrafted, production may take several months depending on the item and the artisan's schedule. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
