These exquisite sewing shears are imbued with the artistry of the traditional craftsmen of Japan.
The lacquer handles - handmade at Ebara Lacquer Works, Nagoya City , Aichi Prefecture. Founded in 1970.
The blades - handmade at Hasegawa Cutlery, Seki City, Gifu Prefecture. One of Japan's leading cutlery towns founded in 1933. The light and stable cutting edge is made of durable and rust-resistant Japanese stainless steel.
Smooth fitting and easy to use, the warm lacquer handles are as functional as they are beautiful.
The shears are handmade not machine produced. There are individual differences in each piece, but as always this is the beauty of the handmade product in today's mass-produced machine finish.
Enjoy them and marvel at the craftsmanship of this age-old craft.
