About Tsukihihoshi In the early 20th century, the country of Japan planted large swathes of cedar and cypress trees to help increase their domestic timber industry. Unfortunately, these non-native varieties made it difficult for native deciduous trees to grow reducing food sources for wildlife and increasing the chance of landslides in the process. Today, Tsukihoshi repurposes these trees into beautiful objects that take on a second life in the city.

Elemense’s incense collection takes its inspiration from this storied tradition with three fragrances designed to cultivate serenity and inner peace through scent. This collection uses Japanese scents traditionally associated with relaxation, such as hinoki, and oakmoss, to cultivate an environment for meditation, prayer, and contemplation. Materials: Sandalwood, Patchouli, Tobacco, Vanilla Dimensions: Length: 6.75” Width: 2.5” How to Use: Light the tip of the incense and blow out the flame immediately. Keep away from flammable objects.

Shuro Tawashi are traditional cleaning brushes that are made from the bark of the windmill palm tree, a plant that has grown naturally in the Kishu region of Japan for centuries. This natural and eco-friendly scrubber is domestically produced utilizing native Japanese plants, as opposed to synthetic materials and foreign imports. Because tawashi are made from soft and flexible plant fibers, they are not likely to scratch or damage surfaces.
Shuro Tawashi can be used for washing dishes and ceramics, cleaning vegetables, spot cleaning clothes, and personal exfoliation.
About Takada Takeda Kozo Shoten was established in 1948 as a processor and manufacturer of windmill palm tree products. The windmill palm tree is a tall, evergreen palm, with bark that is resistant to rotting, rich in elasticity, and highly resistant to water. Since the Edo period, the tree has been an important staple of the Kishu region in Wakayama. Many people cultivate and harvest the tree, and the Kishu-produced bark is so precious and useful that the people who carried it on their back for sale would even run into bandits on the mountain paths who tried to steal their profits. Third generation sales manager Daisuke Takada felt that the people in the region were responsible for remedying the situation. He found a craftsman who understood the old methods, asking for help. After 7 years, the company began selling Shuru Tawashi (windmill palm tree scrubbing brush) using the high quality, domestically sourced palm bark from Kishu. Materials: SHURO (Trachycarpus fortune), Metal wire Dimensions: 5.51” L x 2.36” W x 5.51” H Care: Allow to dry between uses. Wakayama, Japan

We are pleased to offer this series of vividly designed and beautifully illustrated tenugui towels. These multipurpose textiles have been used for centuries as handkerchiefs, gift wrap, napkins, and wall art. This collection is dyed using the “ chusen” method, which has been practiced since the Meiji period. This method has a characteristic appearance due to the fact that the dye produces different shades of color depending on the weather, temperature, and humidity at the time of dying. These 100% cotton towels are reversible and the pattern appears on both the front and reverse sides.
About Tenugui Towels A tenugui towel is a thin vibrantly-printed Japanese textile that typically measures 35 cm in width and 90 cm in length. Like furoshiki, it can be used for wrapping gifts, bottles, and other common items. It also makes an absorbent dish towel and washcloth. Tenuguis can also be purposed into table runners, placemats, curtains- the sky’s the limit! They are often given as gifts or souvenirs from travelers in Japan.
Materials: 100% Cotton Dimensions: 35.5" L x 13" W Care: As this product is hand-dyed, you may experience color loss/bleeding . Hand wash separately with cold water and mild detergent. The edges of tenugui towels are seamless, meaning the weft (horizontal thread) at either end will fray with use. Trim any loose strings with scissors. This process will stop after a small fringe forms.
