All Chidoriya Tsuge combs and brushes are handmade by skilled artisans in Japan and take a long time to complete. The materials are naturally dried for more than 3 years and hand-carved individually. Finally, camellia oil is applied repeatedly into the comb or brush to bring out its gloss.
The origin of the “Satsuma Tsuge Comb” began when samurai warriors from Satsuma clan first started making them as they returned from Edo after completing the flood prevention works at Kiso River during the Edo period. The boxwood comb making became widespread as a side job for lower level samurai warriors. There were about 10 comb manufacturers by the time of the Taisho Period and each manufacturer put all their ingenuity into the design of comb.

We have been conditioned to believe that using “product” saves us time and makes it so our hair doesn’t need as much management. But combing or brushing is always really good for your hair. It helps to move the hair’s natural oils from the scalp towards the ends of your hair. If your hair is really dry, try to brush it using the Tsuge Brush with Camellia Oil: it gives an excellent scalp massage that will lift and tighten the skin of both your scalp and face. It does make a remarkable difference!

Unlike plastic tools, the Tsuge Boxwood Brush will not create static or break your hair.
