Yonoya Kushiho

One of the many attractions on the Denboin-dori traditional shopping street in Asakusa, Yonoya Kushiho has been producing boxwood combs since 1717. Fashioned from boxwood grown in Ibusuki, Kagoshima, the combs can last for generations if properly cared for, and are also claimed to be gentle on the hair. Hairpins, keyrings and netsuke miniature carvings are also sold.
