A medium sized black twine bound broom of broom-corn or rice-straw, which is neither from rice nor corn, but a kind of sorghum grass traditionally planted on 5th June and harvested around the 20th August - after about 75 days growth giving the optimum length between ligule (the point at which the stem splits) and tip for the production of properly measured corn brushes. Hand bound in Tsuga, Tochigi prefecture by Mr and Mrs Araki who together have been making similar brooms for over sixty years. About 60cm by 25cm.

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.
