"We have been in business for 90 years since our founding in 1921, and we strive to create exquisite products that can only be made here, while preserving our reliable techniques and traditions. We encourage you to try them out." (Kumiko Miyagawa, third-generation owner)

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.
Care

Remove dust from the base of the brush using a toothpick or bamboo skewer.
You can also remove dirt by using a brush cleaner or rubbing the brushes together.

*Please avoid washing with water as it will cause dust and other particles to harden and become difficult to remove.



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.
