In bonsai, you gently coax a plant to a specific, aesthetic shape and form over time; it is artistry in plants. The tools used to do bonsai are no different.

Our Wazakura traditional bonsai shears are hand-forged by third-generation bonsai tool artisans in the city of Sanjo, located in the Niigata prefecture of Japan. The city has a reputation dating back to the 17th century for producing high-quality metalwork from their blacksmiths and artisans, and they strive to keep their tools at the pinnacle of quality.

Not only are these tools ideal for bonsai, but they serve double-duty in traditional gardening as well. They are ideal for pruning, trimming, or leaf and shoot-cutting purposes, and can cut material up to 1/2" in diameter. Use them for deadheading, light harvesting of your kitchen herbs, and other gardening tasks.

Combining traditional butterfly-wing handles and functionality, these handcrafted scissors will surely stand the test of time and lend additional beauty to your daily garden tasks.
