Body Brush - Hard

I am Narita, a body brush. The news has spread far and wide that I’m a triple threat: a cleansing, revitalizing and massaging machine. A perfect match for dry and tired skin cells that just need a little extra TLC. I’ll leave skin feeling soft and looking radiant. 

Curator's Notes

These Kamenoko Tawashi brushes are widely used in Japan, and rightfully so. Invented in 1907 by Mr. Seizaemon Nishio with palm fibers, they’re popularity spread because of the palm fibers natural ability to massage sore muscles, exfoliate and create radiant skin.  When we discovered them in Japan, we fell in love! The natural material has stood the test of time as it continues to be a household favorite in Japan and beyond.
