Doing good is as important as doing well. Wazakura Japan integrates the skills of Japanese artisans and blacksmiths with our design and marketing experience.

As a result, their tools are carefully designed and improved over-the-centuries with every single detail taken into account.

Excellent scissors. (verified owner) –
Soo im no expert on the bonsai world im just an ordinary guy who naturally has a green thumb and wants to experiment with the wonderful and exotic bonsai methods. I bought these because of the great reviews and because they are made in japan which says alot. I can honestly say that these are AMAZING!!! they feel great in the hand ( when you hold them right ). These aren't like scissors. You place your four fingers inside one loop and your thumb on the other. It's easy and feels natural. They are VERY sharp!! So be careful. All in all these are really worth the money and would definitely pay more for them.
