Story

Lightweight and steady cutting shears. The blades are made of Japanese stainless steel blade, which is rust-resistant and durable. The shears are designed slightly small in size and fit gently in a woman's hand. 

They are light and easy to handle, so you will not get tired even if you use them for a long time.

You can enjoy the exquisite coloring and luster that only natural, plant-derived lacquer can provide. As time goes by, the transparency of the color of the handle will increase. Along with the bright Sakura pink, which is only available during the Sakura season, you can also enjoy the smooth texture of the handle, which is unique to Urushi lacquer.

The case in SAKURA pink with a tassel in a combination of SAKURA pink and fresh green that evoke the image of spring

Care with the included cleaner cloth will revive the luster of the lacquered handle.

＜About the color of Lacquered Handles＞

The color of lacquered handles is duller and darker than it should be when the lacquer has been applied for only a short period of time. That's because the lacquer has a distinctive yellowish tone at first.

As time passes, environmental conditions such as ultraviolet rays, temperature, and humidity change the color of the lacquer to a brighter tone and becomes more colorful. The lacquer formula of the product shown in the image on the product page and the product sold this time is the same and manufactured in the same way, so the handles of your scissors will have the same color tone.

The time it takes for the color tone become brighter depends on the environment. We would appreciate it if you could enjoy the process of color tone change.
