Overview of producing areas Household goods

As many household goods manufacturers in Kainan began by manufacturing Shuro products, they offer a particularly large lineup of products used in the kitchen, bath, toilet, laundry, and elsewhere around water. The companies develop sponges containing antibacterial agents, proprietary materials that remove dirt without scratching, and more; the types of sponge materials handled by even a single company can number in the dozens. Sales channels include distribution to general households through home centers, household goods stores, and 100-yen shops. Through the development of new materials, the channels are also expanding into the medical industry and overseas distribution. At the same time, companies that hand-make Shuro-based products remain even now, and products such as body brushes that feature the pleasant feel of Shuro are gaining new fans.
