Shozaburo Long-Blade Thread Snips


A legendary name in Japanese scissors craftsmanship, Shozaburo is celebrated for its exceptional sharpness and durability—a true embodiment of what a tool should be, designed to be used and trusted for years to come.

This piece features the Ibushi Long Blade, 105 mm, distinguished by its slender, elongated tip.
The narrow blade allows easy access to hard-to-reach areas—near the presser foot of a sewing machine or within densely stitched embroidery—where earlier snips may fall short.
It performs beautifully not only for cutting threads, but also for unpicking stitches, serving as a reliable alternative to a seam ripper.

This comparison highlights the difference in blade length.
The new Shozaburo long-blade snips feature a slimmer profile with noticeably longer blades.

Thanks to its longer blade, the distance between the hand and the cutting point is comfortably maintained, keeping your line of sight clear as you work.
It offers precise, pinpoint control with a smart, effortless feel and lasting comfort in the hand. 



Small Furoshiki Crafted from Kimono Fabric


The thread snips are wrapped in fabric cut from unused kimono bolts produced between the 1970s and the early 2000s—textiles that were never tailored into garments.
We carefully select bolts with distinctive colors and designs, transforming each into a small furoshiki. Each fabric reflects the sensibility of its era, offering the quiet pleasure of a one-of-a-kind encounter.

Two Styles: Hannari / Kiriri

Hannari: A bright, graceful tone with refined elegance

Kiriri: A calm, sophisticated tone with a modern edge

Even when crafted from the same fabric, the pattern shifts with every cut, making your item truly one-of-a-kind.
Our collection is constantly evolving; as one roll of fabric comes to an end, a new design takes its place, ensuring that every piece is a unique encounter in time.
Choose the aesthetic that speaks to you: the soft and graceful "Hannari" or the crisp and refined "Kiriri." The exact pattern will remain a delightful surprise until you open the box.
We hope you enjoy discovering your own special piece—made just for you.

The wrapping cord is made from durable Sanada-himo, a traditional woven cord long used for tea utensils and obi-jime.
Finished with a leather tag stitched with the Cohana logo, it is a small but thoughtful detail that reflects careful craftsmanship.

Measuring approximately 36–38 cm square, this small furoshiki is slightly smaller than a standard handkerchief.

When stored, it serves as a compact tool wrap; during use, it can be opened out as a work mat or a place to rest small tools.
Designed to adapt quietly to the rhythm of your making.
