Syuro Hoki
棕櫚箒
Everyday Tools Rooted in Daily Life
The shuro broom, made from palm fibers, was once a common household item across Japan.
Until about 30 years ago, many farming families produced these brooms as a winter side job.
The fibrous palm bristles naturally attract dust, and with daily sweeping, the oils from the fibers polish wooden floors to a soft sheen.
Durable and long-lasting, shuro brooms remain loved as practical, sustainable cleaning tools despite the influx of mass-produced and imported products.
