Founded in 1718 ★Brushes and brushes from Edoya

[Mapo ★] October 10, 2012 13:00

I went to the Chuo-ku Tourism Association's town walking tour guide.
This time, a long-established and medicine museum course!

Get off at Kodemmacho Station on the subway and go to the first Edoya.

A shop that has been around since 1718.
It seems that he was given the name of Edoya by the Shogun family.
The owner of the photo is the twelfth generation (@_@)

Clothes brush, toothbrush, makeup brush, etc.
In addition, they showed me a lot of brushes when making dolls.

Those that use human hair, this is pig hair, this is horse hair ...
The squirrel hair of the teak brush was very soft (*^^*)

The hair used for brushes has never been shampooed or colored.
Moreover, it seems that it is not the hair of a woman. Women's hair is strong (laughs).

Toothbrush is made of horse hair. It's 420 yen for each.
And the tapping for the display of personal computers
What an austrich feather ★735 yen

It's really nice to have a lot of time and effort made by this craftsman!
However, it seems that there are really few craftsmen.
It is an era where a large amount of Chinese products are coming in.
It seems that the artisans don't grow up.
I thought this was not the case where I bought a 100-yen product.

A toothbrush is also good as a souvenir~♪

Betta City will be held on the 19.20th of this month, but
At that time, Edoya seems to be on sale.
It seems that there are a lot of great deals.


Next, go to the museum of Ozu Washi ...
