Handmade by master craftsmen ('shokunin'), these thread snips are incredibly sharp and made with precision to last a lifetime.
The philosophy of a shokunin craftsman is "to devote oneself to one's craft absolutely, where craft is understood not as an individual skill, but a collective process with the capacity to enrich our experience of the world"
