These beautiful small scissors are handcrafted by master artisans with generational knowledge of the cutlery making. The blades are made by Hasegawa Cutlery, a manufacturer of edged tools established in 1933 and located in Seki.  Each pair of blades is forged and hand-fitted by master craftsmen for a sharp edge and a smooth, hitch-free cutting experience.

The scissor handles are made by Ehara Lacquer Works of Nagoya. Every pair of scissors displays the elegance of traditional Buddhist lacquerware typically reserved for temples. Smooth-fitting and easy to use, the warm lacquer handles are as functional as they are beautiful. Red handles are finished with the Shunuri technique, which is used to produce a vibrant vermillion red, considered the color of celebration across Asia. Handles are finished with Gold Makie Lines.

Each set of scissors comes in a leather case with a gilt tassel, protected by a cloth wrapping and boxed in a protective wooden box. The cloth can be used as a cleaning cloth for the lacquered handles. With proper maintenance they should last a lifetime.
