Tin Dustpan

A handmade tin dustpan from Tokyo.

£16 per item

While most dustpans today are made of synthetic materials such as plastic, this dustpan from Osaka is individually handmade by small manufacturers using tin. Tin is a soft and malleable material that is not only lightweight but also particularly resistant to corrosion. There can be a special pleasure tidying around the house with this item, free from the noise of a vacuum cleaner. These tin dustpans should last a great deal longer than ones made of plastic.

Doesn’t require special care.

松野屋

Founded in 1945, Matsunoya is a wholesaler of miscellaneous household items, or aramono. This term is rarely used in modern times, but it refers to objects such as brooms, dustpans, and kitchen tools – items for daily life found in most Japanese homes. Matsunoya staff travel across Japan to find items lovingly made in small, local factories and farms. The company also produces its own original aramono by working directly with small manufacturers.
