But in the Edo period, specialty toothpick shops were not uncommon. Toothpicks were everyday tools used for cleaning one\u2019s teeth, and since they\u2019re consumable goods they were sold everywhere. The grounds of Sensoji Temple were particularly famous for having lots of toothpick shops, and in the Bunsei Period (1806 \u2013 1829) there were close to 200 shops.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

At one point, we started to make our toothpicks using only wood from the kuromoji tree. Usually strong, stiff wood like willow or birch is used, but kuromoji wood has a characteristic scent in addition to being flexible. Since toothpicks are used in the mouth, the fresh scent of the kuromoji wood makes it the perfect material.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

But not only is it expensive to use kuromoji, each individual toothpick must be finished by hand, so they\u2019re much more expensive than other toothpicks.

But I think they\u2019re challenging in different ways. Although I\u2019ve taken over as owner, nothing\u2019s really begun yet. I want to do new, big things. To get ready for that, it feels like I\u2019ve really been running at full speed..<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
