TAKADA Handmade Body Brush with Long Cypress Handle

Lovingly hand-crafted using only carefully selected windmill palm fibers, TAKADA's body brushes are gentle enough to use directly on the skin.  TAKADA believe anything that touches the human body is too important to be left to a machine. That's why they rely on expert craftsmanship and the highest quality materials, the two essential ingredients that go into every one of their brushes.

Before using it for the first time, test the bristles' firmness by wetting it thoroughly and gently massaging your body, beginning with the elbows, knees, heels, etc. For a refreshing body massage, apply your favorite shower gel to the bristles and slowly work into a lather against your skin. You may also use the brush without soap, either while in the bathtub or standing under the shower.

Tawashi are traditional brushes made from the fibers of the windmill palm. For centuries such brushes have been used in Japan for cleaning pots and dishes. For some seventy years, Takada's artisans have been handcrafting tawashi one at a time, using only the finest, carefully-selected materials harvested from trees cultivated in Wakayama Prefecture, in southwestern Japan. 

Despite appearances, TAKADA brushes are in fact astonishingly soft, making them as suitable for bathing as they are for scrubbing fruits and vegetables, imparting a gentle, pleasing and invigorating sensation to your skin. Experience for yourself the quality that lends the everyday something a bit extraordinary.

Lovingly hand-crafted using only carefully-selected windmill palm fibers from Wakayama, TAKADA's body brushes are gentle enough to use directly on the skin. And because no pesticides or disinfectants are used, they're safe for children and the elderly.
