POJ Studio Harimi Dustpan

The washi paper is reinforced with a fermented persimmon dye called kaki-shibu, which acts as a natural strengthener and water-repellent. This traditional treatment makes the dustpan surprisingly resilient and durable for regular household cleaning.

Yes, its exceptionally thin and lightweight construction allows it to sit flush against flat surfaces. This design ensures you can sweep up fine dust and debris without leaving a line of dirt behind.

The small size (20 x 21 cm) is ideal for quick spot cleaning, tabletops, or small apartments. The medium size (28 x 31 cm) offers a larger surface area, making it more practical for sweeping larger floor spaces or daily maintenance.

This dustpan is designed to be paired with hand brushes or short-handled brooms. Because of its compact, artisanal nature, it works best with tools that allow for controlled, precise sweeping motions.

Because of the kaki-shibu coating, the surface is naturally resistant to dirt and moisture. You can simply wipe it down with a dry or slightly damp cloth to keep it clean; avoid soaking it in water or using harsh cleaning chemicals.
