Kamenoko Tawashi

These handsome palm fiber scrubbing brushes have been produced for over 100 years, invented in 1907. Seizaemon Nishio created the first one and named it after his son's turtle for two reasons. First, he thought the brushes resembled the small animal, and second, turtles were seen as a sign of good luck. It seems that good fortune has worked, as the company has been thriving for the last century.
