Ten years have passed since Cohana was launched in 2016. Since then, our tools have found their way into homes across Japan and around the world.

Precious moments spent crafting just for yourself. Quiet hours spent stitching with someone special in mind. Thoughtful gifts for those you hold dear.
We are grateful that Cohana has become part of your everyday lives.

In this third edition, we look back on ten years of Life with Cohana, sharing the messages we’ve received from you over the years.

Through surveys and letters, we often receive wonderful feedback from customers sharing the joy and excitement of using Cohana tools.

• “Being surrounded by tools I love has turned even the simplest sewing moments into something special.”
  
  
• “They are small and charming, but each tool offers the quality and feel of true craftsmanship. I love that delightful contrast.”
  
  
• “Every time I open the box, I feel excited all over again, and crafting becomes even more enjoyable. I’d love to keep adding to my collection and create a sewing box that’s uniquely mine.”

More than just practical items, Cohana tools offer quiet moments of comfort in your daily life—whether you pause to admire them in the midst of a busy day or find calm in their touch.

Nothing brings us greater joy than knowing they have become cherished companions by your side, adding a gentle touch of color to your handcrafting moments and inspiring you to enjoy the creative process.

Among the tools our customers write to us about most often are those that have become beloved Cohana favorites over the years.

Seki Mini Scissors

 “Palm-sized and adorable, yet they cut beautifully. My fingers aren’t quite as nimble as they used to be, but these are so easy to hold. Whether I’m crafting at home or on the go, I can’t do without them.”

 Hasami Magnetic Pin Holder

 “Just seeing it sitting there when I open my sewing box makes me smile. The magnet holds my needles securely, so I no longer have to worry about losing them in the middle of a project.I keep a few in different colors on my desk and sort my needles by type.”

Nambu Iron Paperweight
“I love its substantial weight and the charming way it can be stacked with others. I use it not only when cutting fabric but also to hold the pages of my craft books open.”

Cohana tools have traveled far beyond Japan, finding their way into the hands of people around the world who share a love of handcrafts.

Across languages and cultures, the joy of taking time to create by hand and an appreciation for carefully crafted tools are truly universal.

Hearing from fans around the world that simply having our tools close at hand brings smiles and inspiration is a great source of encouragement as we continue to develop Cohana’s products.

Over the past ten years, Cohana tools have been chosen time and again as thoughtful gifts, offering a way to share love and appreciation with those who matter most.

The connections and warm feelings shared from one person to another through our tools are the greatest treasure Cohana has nurtured over the past ten years.

No look back at Cohana’s ten-year journey would be complete without the seasonal limited-edition colors and special collections we have introduced over the years.

• “I still treasure the SAKURA Scissors I finally took the plunge and bought back then.”
  
  

• “I can’t forget that color from a previous collection. I’d love to have another chance to get one.”

We are greatly encouraged by the messages we receive from customers who look forward to each season’s colors and special collections.

Each Cohana tool is carefully handcrafted by skilled artisans. Although some items are available only in limited quantities, the requests we receive to bring back past colors and the deep affection our customers have for each shade are a precious guide as we plan future collections and develop new products.
