WHY YOU NEED IT

A utilitarian nail brush that gets the job done while appealing to a minimalist sensibility.

WHY I LOVE IT

A beautiful utilitarian object is something that brings me terrific pleasure, and this Japanese nail brush is the perfect example. Kanaya Brush, established in 1914, has been hand making brushes in the Asakusa district of Tokyo for more than a century and surely this design hasn't changed much, if at all, over the last 100 years. The smooth beechwood feels wonderful in your hand while the boar bristles efficiently clean your nails and hands - truly the perfect example of form and function working beautifully together. The elegant materials and small footprint deem it pretty enough to leave it on your sink.
