Japan Trip - Shopping

One of the things I wanted to buy during this Japan trip was a broom.
Broom is just a cleaning tool, but when it's carefully made by craftsmen, it's beautiful.
And the idea to clean the room with a beautiful piece of art made me excited.

Shirakiya Denbe has been making hand-made broom since 1830.

They made me try several brooms because each hand-made broom has slight difference and they wanted me to chose the one with right feel for me.

The one I liked the most was very light and moved smoothly. Unfortunately, it was too long to fit inside JC's trunk.
So I bought the one which was 60 cm long, a little bit heavier but felt smooth.

This broom catches every bit of dust, and small enough to clean the tiny space where vacuum can't reach.
When this broom becomes old, you can trim the edge and keep using until it becomes too short. Eco!
