Shoji Works, based in Kakogawa, Japan, has been crafting fine brushes since Taisho 14 (1925). The company is dedicated to preserving traditional brush-making techniques, much of which involves meticulous handcrafting. Shoji Works places a special emphasis on using wood for their brush handles, as it imparts a sense of warmth and comfort with its gentle touch. Over time, with regular use, the wood's color and shape evolve, adapting to fit you perfectly. This creates a product that feels alive and grows alongside you. Walnut or beech wood, in particular, not only boasts an attractive appearance but also offers exceptional durability.
