Origin of Kumano Brushes
Long considered Japan's top brush-making area, the Kumano district of Aki in Hiroshima Prefecture produces around 80% of the best brushes made in the country. Dating back to the Edo Period (1603-1867), Kumano Brushes have long been recognized for their excellence. They won the top prize at the 1862 National Exposition, and this accolade promoted a greater appreciation of the extremely high quality of Kumano Brushes.

Over a century later, in 1975, the Japanese Government selected Kumano Brushes as Cultural Artworks. To maintain this well-established tradition and improve brush-making techniques, all Kumano Brushes continue to be made by hand. The 170-year tradition of Kumano Brushes thus continues to be sustained by production of individually handcrafted traditional works of art.

Carefully crafted in Kumano, the extensive professional lineup of Shoko makeup brushes maintains the strong legacy that dates back almost two centuries. Enjoy owning and using a brush with elegance and a proud tradition.
