Small Diagonal Broom 15cm/Retro Black

Cylindrical Broom/Otaru Blue

Shinji Yoshida × UNGAPLUS

This broom was created in collaboration with Shinji Yoshida, a Nakatsu broom craftsman based in Otaru. Nakatsu brooms are traditional brooms that have been made in Nakatsu Village (now Nakatsugawa Town, Aiko District, Kanagawa Prefecture) since the Meiji era. Brooms are made from hand-bundled broom corn and woven with UNGAPLUS' original yarn, which evokes the essence of Otaru.

[Small Diagonal Broom 15cm] (Retro Black)
This mini broom is knitted using "Retro Black," a simple black yarn that accentuates the "beauty of utility" with a Showa-era retro feel.
The "Small Diagonal Broom" is a great item that can be used in a variety of places, such as cleaning around your desk, kitchen, or dining table. It also comes with a hanging string, so you can store it anywhere.

[Cylindrical Broom] (Otaru Blue)
This mini broom is knitted from yarn dyed in a blue gradient, inspired by the view of the sea from Otaru.
The "cylindrical broom" has soft bristles that can reach into small gaps and sweep out dust and debris. It is also recommended for cleaning keyboards and other surfaces. This broom also comes with a hanging string, so it's easy to store.

Yoshida's Nakatsu brooms are made from pesticide-free broom corn, and are beautiful brooms made with a unique perspective while carrying on tradition. They also make great gifts.
