As an ikebana enthusiast and instructor, I've enjoyed using the ikenobo model scissors from the Wazakura brand. The ikenobo model scissors are used in several ikebana schools, including the Sogetsu school I teach.

The balance of these scissors is spot-on. Surprisingly, they are heavier than I was used to, enhancing their ease of use. Elegantly packaged and engraved with the Wazakura label, the scissors immediately convey their high-quality craftsmanship.

Crafted in Japan, these scissors offer remarkable sharpness, making clean cuts a breeze. They enable me to work gracefully with delicate stems and sturdy branches, preserving the natural beauty of each element.

I wholeheartedly recommend these Japanese-made scissors for those seeking reliable ikebana tools.

The sharpness and balance are spot on, making it effortless to cut through everything from delicate petals to thick branches with precision. I love how each cut feels so deliberate, helping me bring my creative ideas to life with ease. The craftsmanship is outstanding — you can really tell these are handmade with care.

They’re comfortable to hold and control, which makes a big difference when working on detailed arrangements. Honestly, these scissors feel like an extension of my hands, perfectly suited for my Ikebana practice.

Razor sharp

Very well-made, sturdy. These do not have any sort of spring action, but Ifm fine with that. Be careful! These are razor sharp out of the box, I was opening packages and handling them carelessly and cut my finger. These look like they will last a long time. No rust forming yet, but I keep them in the tool shed when not in use.
