The precision and softness of handmade products
The design is based on the palm scrubbing brushes from Naito Shoten.
Tawashi brushes are made from palm trees, a member of the palm family, and are characterized by their durability and soft, gentle feel.
By incorporating palm scrubbing brushes into textiles, the piece has a gentle, rounded shape and texture that can be felt by the hands of artisans.
