100 Years in Asakusa. The Edo brush specialist who knows every "Bristle".｜Kanaya Brush
Synthetic brushes are convenient, but they can cause static electricity and damage the skin.
Kanaya's brushes using animal hair are gentle on people and objects.
Tools packed with old-fashioned wisdom become indispensable as you use them.
Natural bristles organize your life
Founded in Asakusa, Tokyo in 1914 (Taisho 3). "Kanaya Brush" started with the manufacturing of painting brushes and industrial brushes, but applied its technology to household brushes with the changing times. As "The Brush Shop of Asakusa," it continues to be loved by locals and fans from afar. Knowing the characteristics (hardness, stiffness, oil content) of natural materials such as horse, pig, boar, and goat, the tools implanted optimally for each purpose combine "gentleness" and "reliability" close to the user's life.
Why "Kanaya Brush" is Chosen | 3 Reasons
Selection of "Natural Bristles" for the right place
Stiff "Boar bristle" for hair brushes, flexible "Horse hair" for toothbrushes and clothes brushes, and soft "Goat hair" for face washing brushes. They identify the characteristics of animal hair and select materials that perform best for each purpose.
Hard to generate static electricity
Plastic and nylon brushes tend to generate static electricity, causing dry hair and re-adhesion of dust. Natural bristles contain moisture and oil, so static electricity is unlikely to occur, giving natural shine to hair and firmly brushing off dust from clothes.
Craftsman's Hand-planting Technology
High-end brushes are made by "hand-planting" where craftsmen plant bristles one by one by hand. Compared to machine planting, bristles are harder to fall out and the touch on the skin is softer. A tool for a lifetime that can be used for decades while being repaired.
Editor's Note
When you go to the shop in Asakusa, it is a masterpiece with brushes lined up on the wall. The biggest shock is the "Horse Hair Toothbrush." At first, I was resistant to "putting animal hair in my mouth?", but when I used it, the touch on the gums was surprisingly soft, and the smoothness after brushing was different. Once you know this, you can't go back to nylon. Also, if you have a cat, a "pet brush" is essential. The cat looks comfortably entranced.
Polish your whole body | 5 Editor's Picks
From clothes care to hair care and oral care. We picked up masterpiece brushes that maximize the potential of natural bristles.
Hand-planted Clothes Brush (For Cashmere)
For precious coats. Craftsmanship that brushes off dust without damaging fibers.
A masterpiece representing Kanaya Brush. High-quality horse hair with softness and stiffness is planted by hand by craftsmen. It scrapes out pollen and dust that has entered deep into the fibers without damaging the fabric even with delicate materials such as cashmere and angora. It is also a feature that static electricity is unlikely to occur.
For care of coats and suits after returning home. Brushing arranges fibers and prevents pilling.
Hair Brush (Boar Bristle)
Just combing changes your hair. Angel's halo with natural oil.
A hair brush using "Boar Bristle" with hardness and elasticity. Since boar bristles contain moderate moisture and oil, they arrange the hair cuticle and give natural shine. Combing is good, and the massage effect on the scalp is also outstanding.
For morning blow-dry and hair care after taking a bath. Recommended for those who are concerned about dry and spreading hair.
Horse Hair Toothbrush (Set of 3)
Addictive once used. Gentle polishing comfort massaging gums.
Natural horse hair toothbrush that existed before nylon became mainstream. The tips are hard to spread, and you can polish gently without damaging tooth enamel or gums. You may be surprised by the unique feel at first, but it is a long-seller reputed that the gums become tighter as you use it.
For those with weak gums or those who want to polish gently over time. Since it is a set of 3, you can share it with your family.
Face Wash Brush (Goat Hair)
Into the depths of pores that cannot be washed by hand. Melting touch.
Face washing brush using extremely thin and soft "Goat Hair." Just soak plenty of foam and slide it round and round on the skin to gently remove dirt and old keratin in pores that cannot be reached by fingers. Popular with people with sensitive skin because irritation is low.
For daily face washing. Useful for blackhead care of the nose and improving makeup application.
Body Brush (Horse Hair)
Reach the itchy spot on the back. Moderate stimulation promotes blood circulation.
Natural bristle body brush with handle. It has a "moderate catch" not found in nylon towels, and massages the skin while removing old keratin. Horse hair is gentle on the skin, so it is safe for those who do not like pain. Also for prevention of back acne.
For washing the body in the bath. Since the handle is long, you can wash firmly even the middle of the back which is difficult to wash by yourself.
Summary: Asakusa style in daily habits.
Brushing. It is a time to cherish things and yourself.
The brushes made by the long-established store in Asakusa, which has continued for over 100 years, harbor the heart of a craftsman who thinks of the user.
