“This pair of scissors is the result of all our hard work and dedication, as well as the skill of the craftsmen that work on them. The amazing skills and traditional craft that has been handed down over many many years combined with new technology has created what we think is a beautiful pair of scissors. When it comes to creating Japanese food, scissors can be an indispensable utensil in the kitchen, and are also useful when making other foods from different cultures. As well as this, they can find their roots in traditional Japanese swords. “
“Found on the face of the scissors are a symbol of Japan, the cherry blossom or Sakura in Japanese. In the language of flowers, cherry blossoms as a whole are thought of as portraying moral beauty, or graceful femininity, and this is not only when they flower, but also when they fall and dance gracefully in the spring breeze. They are recognised as a Natural monument of Japan, and from Okinawa to the Tohoku region, there are over 39 different recognised species such as the Oshima zakura.”
