道 — みち

The Way of Making

Four gestures
between steel and hand.

A pair of Ichiro passes through the same sequence its maker's teacher learned, and their teacher before them.

  1. The Steel

    Japanese VG-10 and ATS-314 forged at 58–62 HRC. Each blank rested, oriented to the grain, hand-selected.

  2. The Edge

    Convex hamaguri-ba profile, ground on three stones. Thirty-two touches before the first inspection.

  3. The Fit

    Blade to blade at five pressure points. If the whisper is wrong, we start again.

  4. The Finish

    Polished by hand to a sixteen-thousand grit mirror. Stamped, numbered, sealed by the maker.

鋏 — はさみ

The Collection

Six houses,
one intent.

Each series is named for a quiet thing — a month, a blossom, a shadow. Every pair is numbered to its maker. Available through approved professional distributors.

Saitama Workshop

Patience is a tool.
We sharpen it first.

A single pair passes through twelve benches. None of them are rushed. The maker's initial is struck last, when the scissor has earned it.

Inside the Bench

Every pair,
one pair of hands.

Our Saitama workshop produces fewer than forty pairs a day. We do not intend to produce more.

A voice from the chair

They disappear. The scissor is gone and there is only the line the client asked for. I have not felt that in twenty years of cutting.
