Gardening Tools

Japanese garden tools are known for their exceptional sharpness, precision, and craftsmanship. Made from high-quality Japanese steel and designed with ergonomics in mind, they offer cleaner cuts, better control, and long-lasting performance compared to many mass-produced alternatives.

It depends on what you’re pruning. For detailed tasks like shaping bonsai or trimming small branches, Kiribashi or bud shears are ideal. If you’re working on thicker, woody stems, go for anvil-style shears. For leafy hedges and topiary work, trimming shears will give you clean, precise cuts.

They're great for anyone who values precision, durability, and craftsmanship. Whether you're a home gardener, bonsai enthusiast, or professional landscaper, these tools offer superior performance and timeless design.

Yes! While they're favored by professionals, Japanese shears are also great for beginners. Their sharpness and ease of use make gardening more enjoyable, and they often require less effort compared to standard tools. Just choose the right type for your tasks and get started.

Anvil shears have a single sharp blade that cuts against a flat surface, making them ideal for thick, dry branches. Bud shears are smaller and more nimble, perfect for snipping off new shoots or thinning delicate growth.

To keep your tools in great shape: wipe the blades clean after each use, sharpen them regularly with a whetstone or sharpening tool, apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust, store them in a dry place, ideally in a tool wrap or box.

To maintain sharpness and efficiency, we recommend regular sharpening – preferably with a Japanese sharpening stone with a grit of 1000. This will extend the tool's lifespan and make your work easier. You can find sharpening tools here.
