I am Harimi, a dustpan. My peers are always complaining that while on the job, each broom stroke builds an electric charge that leaves dust stuck on them! I just can’t seem to relate. As much as I hate to boast, I usually leave the job feeling squeaky clean and triumphant. I guess you can say I always get the job done right the first time.  

Curator's Notes

There’s nothing we find more frustrating than spending more time on chores than need be. That’s why these dustpans are perfect because they get the job done right the first time and sweep everything up without leaving small piles of dust behind. Made of durable cardboard and bamboo and coated with persimmon tannin, they create no static electricity so dust won’t stick! They come with a hanging strap and are very convenient making storing easy.
