Shirokiya Nakamura Dembei Shoten Otegaru Broom This is an indoor broom from Shirokiya Dembei Shoten, which has been hardly used. It's a beautiful broom crafted by artisans, and it's lovely to display. It's a convenient broom for quick cleanups when you don't want to get out the vacuum cleaner, or for small tasks. It's useful for spot cleaning and also works on carpets. [Reason for Listing] I had it in a small studio apartment before moving, but I no longer need it, so I'm offering it for sale. I bought it because I liked it, but I also had a vacuum cleaner, so I hardly used it and just kept it on display. It was hung up, so there's no warping of the bristles. [Condition] It's in beautiful condition, but it's a natural product, and it has been stored at home for several years, so please understand that it has been in someone's possession before purchasing. When I used it indoors, I only lightly swept the flooring. Of course, it has not been used in any areas where shoes are worn. I hope it can be passed on to someone who is looking for one. No price reduction. Immediate purchase is welcome. [Size] Total length: Approximately 80-85 cm Bristle width: Approximately 20-25 cm [Material] Broomcorn (bristles), bamboo (handle) [Retail Price] Around 7000 yen Made in Japan The following are product details and maintenance information: *Quoted from the internet The Zashiki-bouki (tatami broom) is familiar to Japanese life. The brooms of Shirokiya Denbei Shoten have been made using the same methods as in the late Edo period. The materials used are soft and have resilience, making it easy to sweep without using much force. The broom grass has the effect of giving a shine to tatami mats, and the longer it is used, the more beautiful the tatami mats become with an amber color. After the bristles wear down, they can be used for the wooden floors, then the earthen floor, and finally for cleaning the garden. You can use it until the broom's lifespan is over. It is a luxurious item that suits the modern lifestyle, allowing you to experience a comfortable and careful life. <If the bristles are bent> Natural grass may not look perfect, but it is not easily bent or broken, so it lasts a long time. If it has become bent, apply a little more water with a spray bottle to the bent area, let it sit for a while, and then comb it back into shape by hand. Hanging it up will help it return to its original shape.
