The feeling of the head (bringing part) that hits the gums is comfortable.
Is this the hair of the horse's tail?
Speaking of the tail, it's supple strength to hit the noisy flies.
It is a delicate softness that overturns that image.
Animal hair is used for brushes and clothes brushes.
Anything that touches the skin is hairdressing brushes and makeup brushes.
It has never been familiar as a material for toothbrushes to put in the mouth.
When I use it, I feel that it has been polished and the surface of my teeth has become smooth.
※ This is a personal impression.
At 2-16 Nihonbashi Daidenmacho, there is Edoya, a specialty store for brushes and brushes.
Looking forward to visiting the Chuo-ku Machikado Exhibition Hall, we visited the Edoya Collection Brush Exhibition Hall on the opening weekday.
Even if you look closely at the exterior of the store facing Otemmacho Street, it looks like a brush.
This building is designated as the registered Tangible Cultural Property of the country.
When entering the store, on the left and right showcases, Edo brushes, which are traditional crafts designated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and materials related to brushes and brushes were displayed.
When I called out to the store, I took some of the cases and touched it.
"The oldest of these is this lacquer brush.
It is a necessity for applying lacquer to wood in the process of making lacquerware.
It's made of women's hair."
In historical dramas, etc., the figure of a rugged wife who sells her own black hair and manages her household finances is depicted, but the black hair was used not only as a wig material but also as a brush material.
"Brushes are a method of planting hair bundles on the handle, and have spread since the Meiji era.
The brush is made of hair sandwiched between boards."
When I looked at the real thing while receiving the explanation, I really understood the difference.
Edoya seems to have been founded in Kyoho 3 (1716).
The name of the shop was given by the ancestor who was a brush master of the Shogun family.
Speaking of the Kyoho era, isn't it the time of the 8th Shogun Yoshimune Tokugawa?
It is a long-established store that has been around for 300 years since its establishment.
Edo brushes are created from the careful handwork of craftsmen using natural materials.
The luxury that you can use the work on a daily basis in your daily life.
There were several bundles of hair hanging on the ceiling, which used as materials for brushes and brushes.
Surely, there are some rare materials that you can't imagine.
I'll come with my wife next time, so please let me know again.
