It doesn't look like the product of the work of a traditional Japanese artisan. And indeed, the Hineri Kamisuki Slim Twist Hair Water-Repellent Comb is a product of 21st-century craftsmanship. But like all Japanese crafts, it has its roots in traditions: in this case, woodwork that goes back hundreds of years. The comb is made of one of Japan's most special woods: the onoore kanba, a species of birch so hard and resilient that it can supposedly break an axe (which is what its name literally means!).
This guarantees that the Hineri Kamisuki Slim Twist Hair Water-Repellent Comb will last you decades but its special oil finish that makes it water-repellent and stain-resistant guarantees it still looks as good then as it looks today. Small enough (just 13.5 cm / 5.3" long) to fit in any bag and with a wavy shape that feels as if it's stroking your scalp. As practical as it is beautiful, it's certainly worth a place in your hair-care arsenal!
