A broom chosen once, used for years
Handcrafted by Yamamoto Katsunosuke Shoten — a maker in Wakayama Prefecture working in this tradition since 1862 — the Full Size 125cm is the classic Japanese household broom. Windmill palm fibers, carefully selected and bound with copper wire, fitted to a black bamboo handle. At 125cm it sweeps at a natural standing height, making it ideal for larger rooms and open layouts.
What makes shuro different
-
Handmade in Wakayama since 1862
Crafted by Yamamoto Katsunosuke Shoten using traditional fiber-binding techniques passed down through generations. -
Natural wax effect
Shuro's natural oils leave floors with a subtle sheen over time — no wax or products required. -
Minimal dust scatter
Natural palm fibers collect dust rather than dispersing it — no particles lifted back into the air. -
Gentle on every surface
Soft enough for tatami and hardwood, firm enough to sweep properly. Will not scratch wood, tile, or stone. -
Quiet operation
No motor, no noise. Can be used at any hour without disturbing anyone in the house.
A broom with a three-stage life
Unlike mass-produced brooms, a shuro broom ages rather than wears out. The fibers soften with use and take on a slight curve shaped by the way you sweep — each pass becoming more natural than the last. Japanese broom makers have a name for this: the three-stage life. New, it sweeps fine indoor floors. As the tips wear down over years of use, it moves to harder surfaces. Worn further still, it sweeps the entryway or outdoors. The broom is never discarded. It is reassigned.
Perfect pairing
This broom pairs with the Harimi Dustpan — made from washi paper lacquered with persimmon tannin. No plastic, no static, and a clean match for the shuro fibers.
For complete home coverage, combine this broom with one of our angle brooms. Use the Full Size 125cm for open floors, and the Short or Medium Handle Angle Broom for corners, stairs, and tight spaces.
