Grooming your car with Kyoto aesthetics. Ostrich feather dusters since the Taisho era.｜Matsumoto Umo (Matsumoto Kebataki)
Time facing your car in the garage; time caring for favorite goods in the living room.
Matsumoto Umo's tools make those moments rich and calm.
Turning cleaning into an elegant "ritual"
"Matsumoto Umo LLC" is based in the ancient capital of Kyoto. Its roots date back to the Taisho era. They view feather dusters not just as tools to remove dust, but as "etiquette to cherish your car," and continue to make beautiful products using the finest ostrich feathers. They are also the exclusive distributor in Japan for the world's top car-care brand "SWISSVAX," earning deep trust from collectors and car enthusiasts. Their aesthetics have extended beyond car interiors to the household duster "Catarel," which colors the living room.
Why "Matsumoto Umo" Is Chosen | 3 Reasons
Carefully selected ostrich
They use only high-quality ostrich feathers from South Africa. Unlike chicken feathers, the fine tips "catch" dust rather than "flick" it — so you can clean without scattering dust or scratching the object.
Kyoto craftsmanship and aesthetics
The automotive series, known as "Matsumoto Kebataki," is wound by hand one piece at a time by skilled craftspeople. From feather selection to finishing, no compromise — combining durability, volume and beauty as a tool.
"Catarel" that blends into life
They developed a household brand, "Catarel," under the concept of "goods that tell a story." With a stylish design that overturns the conventional image of "dusters," the contrast of a stainless or wood handle with fluffy feathers adds a high-quality accent to any interior.
Editor's Note
Their feather dusters are simply beautiful. Functional, yes — but the texture of the handle and the way the feathers fan out are elegant; placed in the garage, they almost look like art. My recent favorite is the household "Catarel." I use it to dust around the TV and figures on the shelf, and the fluffy ostrich feathers gently catch the dust — no worry of knocking things over or scratching them. With its stylish look, you can leave it out in the living room — that's another plus.
For Cars and Living Rooms | 4 Editor's Picks
From the authentic automotive line that protects your car, to a household line you can enjoy as an interior piece. A sophisticated lineup typical of a Kyoto brand.
Automotive Duster CB Series
When in doubt, this one. A gray model with an excellent balance of quality and price.
The "CB" series, the entry to mid-tier of Matsumoto Kebataki. Using gray ostrich feathers, with a volume easy to handle even for first-time users. Sizes are finely tiered (F100 through F500 etc.), so you can choose one suited to your car's size.
For daily care of sedans, SUVs and compact cars. Essential for owners of black cars looking to reduce wash frequency.
Catarel F35
You'll want to display it in the living room. A "duster" that's closer to art.
Matsumoto Umo's interior line, resized for household use. At about 35cm, ideal for dust on shelf ornaments, around the TV and on lampshades. The combination of a stylish stainless handle and natural feathers suits modern spaces.
Dust the leaves of houseplants; clean figures and models; care for a piano. Beloved as a gift too.
Automotive Duster CLEFS
The impact of black. The flagship clad in the finest "black ostrich."
Matsumoto Umo's top brand "CLEFS," positioned above the CB series. Lavishly uses rare "black ostrich" feathers. The overwhelming softness and the luxury that jet-black feathers exude are chosen by owners of supercars and chauffeured cars.
For body care on vintage and coated cars you absolutely don't want to scratch.
Mini Ostrich for Interior
A beautiful cockpit. Sweep dust around the meters and navigation.
A mini size made exclusively for fine parts inside the car. Ostrich catches dust on the dashboard — which synthetic-fiber dusters tend to push around with static — just by lightly stroking. Doesn't scratch piano-black painted parts.
During idle moments at a traffic light. Handy to keep in the door pocket or glove box.
Summary: Beauty lives in the details.
I want to keep precious things beautiful for a long time.
What answered that wish wasn't synthetic fiber — it was natural feathers, a blessing of nature.
Matsumoto Umo's feather dusters will keep protecting your car and interior, gently and gracefully.
