Daily bath time is an important time to refresh both your mind and body. As you wash your body, you also wash away the fatigue of the day.
We would like to introduce you to some of the finest craftsmanship that is perfect for such a comfortable and precious time.
When we talk about Takumi no Box, we are sure you are familiar with the word "brush."
Yes, it's a handmade body brush by Miyagawa Kumiko of Miyagawa Hake Brush Factory!

Unlike nylon, the tips of natural horsehair become rounder with use and become more comfortable against the skin.

In the world of brushes, they say that the bristles give way (due to friction), but because the bristles give way, they do not damage the skin, so they can be used safely by women as well as people with sensitive skin, from small children to the elderly.

Because it is made of wood, it is less slippery even when soap gets on it, and the long handle makes it extremely easy to use. Enjoy the comfortable feel that nylon bristles cannot match.

90 years since our founding! We also manufacture plastering brushes for the exterior wall construction of Tokyo Station.

Miyagawa Hake Brush has been preserving reliable techniques and traditions for over 90 years since its founding in 1921. The previous owner, Miyagawa Akio, was recognized as a contemporary master craftsman with exceptional skills, and after receiving the Taito Ward Outstanding Skilled Worker Award, he was also recognized as a Tokyo Traditional Craftsman by the Governor of Tokyo in 2003, and received the Tokyo Meister Outstanding Skilled Worker Medal in the same year.

Nowadays, there is a constant stream of requests for Miyagawa's brushes, not only from within Japan but also from overseas, and many foreign artists make the effort to visit the store.

Miyagawa's plastering brush was also used during the construction of the exterior walls of Tokyo Station, at the request of the master carpenter on site, who said, "This brush gets the job done the fastest and is the most efficient."
"At that time, plasterers came from all over the country to make hundreds of pieces, so it was a very busy time," says Miyagawa.

Experience the craftsmanship of these professionally used brushes, along with their comfortable feel.

The secret to longevity!

After use, drain well and store in a well-ventilated place.

*Please avoid using direct sunlight or a dryer for drying, as this can damage the wood and cause the hair to peel and rot.



Unlike nylon masks, I hope you will feel the sensation of it becoming more comfortable on your skin the more you use it. What makes me happiest is hearing all kinds of feedback from people who have used it. I would encourage everyone to give it a try.
