The unique charm of Kumano brushes - high-quality makeup brushes that Japan is proud of worldwide
Kumano brushes are world-famous makeup brushes produced in Kumano Town, Hiroshima Prefecture. Their outstanding quality and delicate finish are highly regarded by many professionals and beauty lovers both in Japan and abroad.

 

  1. Use of high-quality materials
    The greatest feature of Kumano brushes is the high quality of the materials used in their manufacture. The main ingredient is carefully selected animal hair, and we thoroughly pursue its softness, elasticity, and durability. This high-quality hair quality allows for smooth application of cosmetics and achieves exquisite makeup effects.
  2. Handmade by skilled craftsmen
    The manufacturing process of Kumano brushes is all done by hand. By carefully crafting each brush by a skilled craftsman, we can infuse each brush with its own unique "heart". This attention to detail by hand creates a quality that cannot be imitated by any other brush.
  3. Beauty as a work of art
    Kumano brushes are not only functional, but also highly valued as works of art. The traditional lacquer and intricate decoration on the brush handle are the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship. They can be used and enjoyed as interior decorations.
  4. International Recognition
    Kumano brushes are highly regarded not only in Japan, but also in the cosmetics industry around the world. Many overseas makeup artists use them, and they are a popular item at international beauty exhibitions.
  5. Sustainable Products
    The manufacturing process of Kumano brushes is also environmentally friendly. The materials used are sustainably sourced and durable enough to be used for a long time. This sustainable approach is also attractive to modern consumers who are environmentally conscious.

 

Kumano brushes are works of art that bring together the best of Japanese aesthetics and craftsmanship beyond their simple functionality. This is why they are loved and used by people all over the world. In addition to their beautiful finish, Kumano brushes have a special presence that enriches your heart just by holding them. The tradition and technology will continue to be passed down to many people in the future.
