櫛 brush comb

The comb, a cherished companion to the Shokunin crafting brushes, is used in crucial processes such as aligning bristle tips and blending overlaid bristles seamlessly. Naturally, the brandnew brushes are meticulously groomed, with each bristle individually adjusted by the comb.
However, through repeated use, the initially straightened bristles gradually twist, and the fresh touch of brandnew brush is often lost. How do you maintain your brushes?
Among the questions frequently received from our customers, one topic stands out: tool maintenance. In conversations with brush shokunin, we learned that straightening the bristles after use can significantly alter the touch of the brush in the next use.

In order to provide a great experience in washing brushes for those who respect the spirit of Shokunin and wish to take extra care of their favorite brushes, we offer a limited quantity of a brush-dedicated comb.

While it is possible to substitute other types of combs, having a dedicated tool proves beneficial. The dedicated comb features thin teeth that can smoothly pass through the bristles.

There used to be shokuinin in Japan who produced these combs, but unfortunately, they have retired, and we are currently dependent on imported products. The shokunin themselves prefer using domestically crafted combs that have worn down teeth, as shown in the photo. However, the product we are offering is a new imported item, so the teeth length is consistent ☺️.

Brush Dedicated Comb (Small Size): 4.9cm × 1.6cm
＊Currently, we are offering only the small size, which is ideal for maintaining brushes such as Keifuku, KASHIN, KASUI, and others. If you desire other sizes, please contact shop@rimpamura.com.
