The handles of this elegant Sewing Shears are meticulously lacquered and finished with gold leaf by a traditional lacquer artisan specializing in Buddhist altar fittings in Aichi Prefecture. Thin sheets of gold leaf are carefully applied one by one using lacquer as an adhesive. Set against the broad lacquered handles, the gold leaf creates a striking focal point that enhances the elegant beauty of the shears. Tamenuri (Transparent Layered Lacquer): Created by applying layers of transparent lacquer over a base of vermilion lacquer, this traditional technique produces a luminous finish with a beautiful sense of depth and clarity, while its uniquely smooth texture gradually becomes more familiar and comfortable in your hand.
The overall length has been increased to 230 mm, with a longer blade length for smoother cutting. The blades deliver smooth, consistent cutting performance. The blades are made from Japanese stainless cutlery steel in Seki city, offering excellent rust resistance and durability. Lightweight and easy to handle, these shears are comfortable to use even during extended crafting sessions.
A Thoughtful Gift for Someone Special, or a Treat for Yourself. In Japan, gifts of knives and scissors are now appreciated as auspicious presents, symbolizing the opening of a new path toward happiness.
With thoughtful details throughout, including a genuine leather case and an elegant tassel that sways gracefully, these shears make a special gift or commemorative present for someone who cherishes the art of handcrafting.
The shears come in a refined paulownia wood box featuring a shimmering foil-stamped logo, along with a convenient cleaning cloth for care and maintenance.
