Product Description

Traditional Japanese craft and fabric scissors
in a beautifully presented paulownia gift box.
Hand-forged on Tanegashima Island.

7.5 sun Tanebasami (22.7cm total length) are sewing scissors, perfect for fabrics and pattern-cutting. In years past they were used when sewing kimonos, which requires long, straight pattern cuts. They have a timeless design and they cut all fabrics wonderfully well.

Paulownia is a light, sustainable wood often used presentation boxes in Japan. It has a lovely grain and ages very nicely. Tanebasami gift boxes are heirloom quality and are printed with the Japanese kanji characters for 'hon-tanebasami', meaning 'genuine Tanegashima scissors'.

Box dimensions: 275mm x 105mm x 40mm.
Shipping weight: 450 grams.
Shipping: Free worldwide shipping.

Forging Tanebasami scissors 08:33

A fascinating look at the hand-forging of Japan's famous Tanebasami scissors. Crafted on Tanegashima Island since the 1540's, using the techniques of master sword-makers, Tanebasami have a dream-like cutting ability and feel wonderfully warm in your hand - they're unlike any other scissors. Admiring their beautiful form is almost as much fun as using them! More information at www.tanebocho.com
