In March 2025, an Education section went live on the Ichiro website. Seven topic pages — handles, blades, steel, thinning, ergonomics, maintenance, and a glossary — collect technical reference material for professional stylists.
The content is not a sales pitch. VG-10, ATS-314, SUS440C, cobalt alloys — and what the differences feel like in hand. Convex edge, hamaguri-ba, bevel geometry. Offset, crane, and swivel handle forms. A quiet reference that explains why scissors are built the way they are.
The bilingual glossary pairs roughly 50 industry terms in Japanese and English — a useful tool when communicating precisely with distributors or sharpeners about the small details that matter.
