Product Information

My latest work: the chiritori x houki 2.0 is carved meticulously with each piece by hand. It is made using "Eco-Urethane," natural indigo dye from Tokushima, and the wiping lacquer technique used in Yamanaka lacquerware. The broom, on the other hand, is a one-of-a-kind creation, crafted with self-cultivated broomcorn and honed with years of experience and dedication.

Particularly, I repeatedly fine-tuned the broom's handle to perfectly match the dustpan, creating a unique and harmony with the dustpan and the broom set. After using this set, the user's posture improves, and the cleaning tools themselves don't look ugly when hung in the home. Instead, they become a beautiful addition to the household space, transforming overlooked cleaning tools into a part of enhancing the overall aesthetics of the living environment.

Message

Traditional craftsmanship are forgotten and lost in our modernizing society. I constantly seek for a better way to blend traditional craft techniques with the contemporary world. To me, craftsmanship goes beyond appearances, seamlessly integrating into daily life, engaging with users, and soothing the soul. Moreover, I believe that through the beauty of craftsmanship, we can also pass down valuable techniques to future generations.

The creative essence of Chiritori x Houki 2.0 has two origins. Firstly, it aims to revitalize the declining traditional industry of brooms by reconfiguring it with new designs for modern living spaces. Secondly, it seeks to create a unified combination of design aesthetics between the dustpan (chiritori) and broom (houki). Both are incomplete without the other, forming a harmonious pairing of the two tools.
