The curved handle fits naturally in the hand, offering control and ease whether you're dry brushing or using it with soap in the bath or shower.
Handcrafted in Japan.

WHY IT’S SPECIAL
Two Traditional Woods
Japanese Cypress — Light, subtly aromatic, and naturally antibacterial. Water-resistant, with a clean forest scent that softens over time.
Dark Wood (Thermo-Treated) — Natural wood exposed to high-temperature steam to remove internal moisture. This makes the handle resistant to bacteria, mold, and warping—ideal for humid bathrooms.
Balanced Exfoliation
A mix of white and brown horsehair offers a comfortable scrub—enough to invigorate the skin without irritation.
Curved, Comfortable Grip
The short, ergonomic handle allows precise movement and ease of use, making it a staple for both dry brushing and shower rituals.
Versatile Ritual Tool
Use dry from the legs upward to stimulate circulation, or lather with soap for a thorough in-shower cleanse. A loop is attached for hanging and drying.
DIRECTIONS
Use on dry skin, brushing upward toward the heart to encourage circulation.
Or wet the brush, apply soap, and scrub the body as needed.
Rinse after use and hang to dry in a well-ventilated area.
