Magokoro Kobo Shuro no Sato Ukiha City, Fukuoka Size: Width (W) 32 x Depth (D) 42 x Height (H) 12.5 [cm] Materials: Washi paper, bamboo A traditional Japanese Ikkan-bari dustpan made by layering washi paper on a bamboo frame. This is an Ikkan-bari dustpan handled by Magokoro Kobo, which makes shuro brooms and scrub brushes in Ukiha City, Fukuoka Prefecture. In the past, many farmers in this area used shuro to make brooms as a side job during the off-season. With the spread of vacuum cleaners, the demand for brooms decreased, and the number of workshops in Ukiha, which once numbered more than a dozen, is now only Magokoro Kobo. Ikkan-bari is a traditional Japanese paper lacquer craft made by layering washi paper on a bamboo frame. It is finished with persimmon tannin for added durability. Compared to plastic ones, it is less likely to generate static electricity, so dust and debris do not stick to it, making it easy to clean.
