Feel the warmth from the handle
that has benefited from nature

Trees grow over decades or centuries.
The grain, the color of the wood, the surface texture, and the patterns created by
them bonding together are all unique, and no two pieces are alike.
The warmth of the trees felt through the palms of your hands will relax your mind.

The brass color changes deeply over time

The brass emits an elegant glow.
When used carefully day after day, its color and texture will change from shiny gold to a more gentle appearance.


100% natural boar bristles bring out

Karimoku

machining technology meets craftsmanship

Karimoku Furniture Inc. is a wooden furniture manufacturer founded in 1940 in Kariya City, Aichi Prefecture.

The individuality of the tree,
the fluctuation of the grain, and the shades of color

Trees contain a lot of moisture and have a tendency to shrink after being chopped down.
By bonding timber in anticipation of shrinkage, the limited resources are used meticulously.
In addition, the color shade, grain curvature, and knots of the wood,
collectively known as natural marks, represent the authenticity of natural wood.
Each brush has a handle with a different personality that heals your heart.
