The fibers soften with use and take on a slight curve shaped by the way you sweep — each pass becoming more natural than the last. Japanese broom makers have a name for this: the three-stage life. New, it sweeps fine indoor floors. As the tips wear down over years of use, it moves to harder surfaces. Worn further still, it sweeps the entryway or outdoors. The broom is never discarded. It is reassigned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePerfect pairing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair this broom with the \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Harimi Dustpan by Shirokiya Denbei\" href=\"https:\/\/wabisabi-jp.net\/products\/harimi-dustpan\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHarimi Dustpan\u003c\/a\u003e — washi paper lacquered with persimmon tannin.
