The broom, handmade by weaving natural materials such as straw, sorghum, and bush clover, was a symbolic tool for gathering blessings and sweeping misfortune away in the past. The ramie broom, which is made of ramie produced in Hansan, is given a sophisticated aesthetic sense through a combination of colored threads. This makes it the perfect decorative object as well as a useful tool for daily life. A small and pretty broom, it is helpful to sweep dust off your desk, keyboard, workbench, and other such places.
