Kamenoko Tawashi Yanaka

In business since 1907, scrubbing brush maker Kamenoko Tawashi finally expands its business outside its original home, opening a branch shop on Yanaka's 'Hebi-dori' ('Snake Street'). In addition to their standard tawashi, which work wonders on teacup stains, this shop carries white versions of the classic model, a line of brushes by Sri Lankan designer Liza and, for the serious fans, a selection of non-brush knickknacks adorned with the Kamenoko logo.
