The bark of the windmill palm tree, or SHURO, has been one of familiar materials to the people of Japan since old times, and its flexible and soft texture has been utilized for brooms and scrub brushes, called "TAWASHI" in Japanese. TAKADA restored traditional Japanese scrub brushes which are made of the bark of the windmill palm tree growing naturally in the KISHU area (Wakayama Prefecture) of Japan. There are only a few craftsmen who can collect the bark of the tree; therefore, materials gathered in KISHU are extremely valuable.  No post-harvest chemicals such as pesticides and disinfectants are used for the bark of the windmill palm tree of KISHU.  It is an organic farming method.
