Jimbocho Brush Store
Jimbocho, the area in central Tokyo famous for antique (and used, and new) bookstores might be heaven on Earth for book lovers, but there is room for more! I found this lovely little store specialized in brushes, all kinds of brushes for every imaginable purpose and of every imaginable material. Every brush had a tag attached to it, describing exactly what it was made from and why. Naturally I have a few brushes of my own, mainly for shoes and sometimes I see the kimono brush in use but I had no idea there were these many variants! In Tokyo truly there is a specialist store for anything you can imagine.

Oh, wow, I would really like to go to this store! I can’t see a name on the outside (><) but if you can tell me roughly which direction to walk from the station, I vow to comb the streets until I find it!

I’m not that good with reading Japanese, but exactly how much are these brushes? It looks totally worth buying since it really does have that antique charm to it. I’d be interested on buying it, hehe. Got to comb messy hair.

Oh, I wouldn’t be able to guess the price, but probably not cheap, they are all handmade on the second floor of the store!
