A Striking Design Showcasing the Artisan’s Craftsmanship
The newly introduced Sewing Shears feature beautifully lacquered handles adorned with elegant gold leaf, creating a truly stunning finish.
Thin sheets of gold leaf are carefully applied one by one using lacquer as an adhesive. Set against the broad lacquered handles, the gold leaf creates a striking focal point that enhances the elegant beauty of the shears.
Over time, the lacquer develops a rich, lustrous depth, while its uniquely smooth texture gradually becomes more familiar and comfortable in your hand.
The handles are available in two distinctive colors, each offering its own unique character and beauty.
Tamenuri (Transparent Layered Lacquer):
Created by applying layers of transparent lacquer over a base of vermilion lacquer, this traditional technique produces a luminous finish with a beautiful sense of depth and clarity.
Shunuri (Vermilion Lacquer):
Vermilion has long been regarded as an auspicious color in Japan. Its vivid brilliance is complemented by a refined, dignified calmness, creating a striking and elegant appearance.
Enhanced Functionality and Refined Beauty
The new Sewing Shears have been updated from the previous Seki Sewing Shears with Lacquered Handles (210 mm in total length) to offer an even more comfortable cutting experience.
- A Size Designed for Smooth, Effortless Cutting
The overall length has been increased to 230 mm, with a longer blade that offers greater reach while cutting. - Smooth, Precise Cutting with a Stable Feel
The blades are made from Japanese stainless cutlery steel, offering excellent rust resistance and durability. Lightweight and easy to handle, these shears are comfortable to use even during extended crafting sessions.
Comes with a genuine leather case

A Thoughtful Gift for Someone Special, or a Treat for Yourself
In Japan, gifts of knives and scissors are now appreciated as auspicious presents, symbolizing the opening of a new path toward happiness.
The shears come in a refined paulownia wood box featuring a shimmering foil-stamped logo, along with a cleaning cloth for their care.
With thoughtful details throughout, including a genuine leather case and an elegant tassel that sways gracefully, these shears make a special gift or commemorative present for someone who cherishes the art of handcrafting.
