[Pre-orders Launch December 9] — Handcrafts from the calming forest: squirrels, apples, and a gentle shade of grape

Sewing tools from a bountiful forest, bringing little moments of happiness.
In celebration of the 8th Anniversary of Cohana’s Nihonbashi Store, the much-loved “Corisu the Little Helper Sewing Set” was originally created and quickly became a favorite. Now its star character, the “Needle Holding Little Squirrel,” returns in a new limited edition set, sitting sweetly inside a small apple-shaped case crafted from natural beech wood.
We are also releasing a new, limited edition Small Scissors with Lacquered Handles in pale grape. This piece is complemented by a brass grape charm and a delicate tassel.
The apple symbolizes peace and love, while the grape represents prosperity and abundance—both cherished as auspicious fruits. We hope this set brings the warmth of nature into your home, allowing you to slow down, breathe deeply as if surrounded by a quiet forest, and enjoy a gentle moment of handcrafting.

Apple-Shaped Case
This palm sized apple-shaped case looks just like a real apple. Its charming form makes you want to lift the lid right away.
BUNACO, a skilled craft studio based in Aomori, transforms beech trees grown in the rich forests of Aomori into beautiful wooden pieces with its unique technique. By shaving the beech wood into thin strips and winding them into layered coils, they create a round apple that shows the natural character of the wood.

Corisu the Little Helper/Acorn Pin
Corisu is a carved wooden squirrel that serves as a needle holder. The name combines "Co" (meaning "small" in Japanese) and "Risu" (meaning "squirrel"). We took the "Co" from our brand name Cohana to create "Corisu." The "Co" also carries the meaning of "together," reflecting our hope that you'll enjoy your sewing time with Corisu by your side.
The little squirrel holds an acorn pin in its hands. A magnet is embedded in its underside, allowing it to pick up pins that fall onto your desk. This diligent little helper quietly watches over you during your sewing time.
And what is this little squirrel holding so carefully in both hands? A tiny acorn pin with a glass head. It’s as if it’s offering you its little treasure, saying, “This is for you.”

Seki Mini Scissors Apple/Mini Spools/Hand Sewing Needle
The Seki Mini Scissors come with a green mixed tassel and a leaf charm. The red leather case is inspired by the color of a ripe apple. Simply holding the scissors between your fingers lets you cut thread easily, making them perfect for tasks where you need to cut thread frequently without any stress.
We have also included small black and white thread spools and sewing needles to make this set convenient for sewing on buttons and other small tasks.
