The Kamenoko Tawashi Mini Stripe is the smaller, cutest version of Kamenoko Tawashi's classic scrubbing brush. So simple, yet so useful, its natural hemp palm bristles are dyed in colourful stripes and as densely packed as the original. Ideal for scouring away caked-on food remains off pots and pans, cutting through dirt on kitchen surfaces, scrubbing soil off potatoes, getting into holes of colanders and so much more.
We like to keep extra ones in the bathroom to scrub between tile grouting and reach right into corners.
Hemp palm is water-resistant and durable, so one tawashi will last a long time. This dark brown version is Kamenoko Tawashi’s original version and best seller, but if you like a little splash of colour, try the Red Kamenoko Tawashi or larger Blue Kamenoko Tawashi.
Kamenoko Tawashi was established in 1907, when founder Nishio Shozaemon invented the looped tawashi (scrubbing brush). Interestingly, he originally designed a hemp palm doormat, but when he saw his wife using a section of a mat to clean shoji screen doors, the idea of scrubbing brushes was born.
The shape of the brush is like that of a turtle, hence “kamenoko,” the Japanese word for “baby turtle” as the company name. Since its invention, the Kamenoko brush has become synonymous with the word “tawashi” in Japan.
