Other Notable Kamenoko Tawashi CollaborationsĪside from Medicom Toy, Kamenoko Tawashi has collaborated with a few other companies to create a small selection of unique products as well. In other words, it is a great option for those who are trying to be environmentally conscious about the products they buy. More importantly, particularly in recent times, the Kamenoko Tawashi scrubbers are made mainly with biodegradable and easily recyclable materials. While the scrubbers from this company are simply very easy to come by and are generally fairly inexpensive, many find this scrubber great because it is both incredibly effective and versatile. Kamenoko Tawashi Background: ReceptionĪfter over 110 years of selling hardly anything but scrubbers, Kamenoko Tawashi is still considered to be a household staple in Japan. Such products include other variants of the tawashi that can be used as a body scrubber as well as sponges and soaps. New products other than the classic tawashi would be made as well. In the following years and decades, the company would grow larger and build several workshops across the country. After the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, the Kamenoko Tawashi building was damaged, resulting in the company moving to Kitatoshima, another nearby district. In 1915, not even ten years after the company was founded, Kamenoko Tawashi founded Tawashi Day, which is now celebrated every year on July 2nd. To this day, these scrubbers are made with stiff palm fibers that are woven into a metal wire, creating a product that is perfect for scrubbing vegetables, dishes, and dirty surfaces. The first product sold by Kamenoko Tawashi was the titular Kamenoko Tawashi. As years passed, many still swear to Kamenoko Tawashi today, even though their products have essentially gone unchanged over a century later. Kamenoko Tawashi was originally founded in Tokyo in 1907 by Nishio Shozaemon and began simply with the tawashi, the Japanese term for a scrubber or scouring brush. Specifications: Painted and articulated plastic figure.It is also quite large, as the standard size for a 400% figure is approximately eleven inches tall. The back of the figure also has a special logo on it that commemorates the brand’s 110th anniversary.Īside from the unique design, the figure also has all of the classic features of a standard figure, like a pair of rounded, bear-like ears, a small nose, and articulated limbs that can be moved back and forth. The logo for Kamenoko Tawashi is also displayed prominently on the figure’s chest and features a picture of a turtle (kame in Japanese) and the brand’s name written in both kanji and hiragana. Although the figure is mainly yellow, red is used on the head, arms, and legs to give it a wonderful sense of balance. The design of the figure is heavily inspired by the packaging that the brush comes in, which uses an appealing combination of red and yellow. This figure produced for Medicom Toy’s line was created to celebrate 110 years of Kamenoko Tawashi, the cleaning brush that has been a must-have for Japanese households since 1907. Although the figure was originally only released as a 100% figure in July 2017, a larger 400% version of the figure would be released later that year in November. The first announcement of this collaboration came through Medicom Toy’s official website, which also mentions that the figure was made to commemorate the 110th anniversary of Kamenoko Tawashi’s success. To date, there has only been one unique design created through this collaboration. The collaboration between the century-old brush brand and Medicom Toy’s line of figures began in July 2017 with the release of the Kamenoko Tawashi 100% figure.
