Each chisel is meticulously finished by our skilled artisans, ensuring impeccable sharpness. Additionally, we offer a wide range of specially designed and uniquely shaped blades tailored to meet the specific needs of professionals, developed based on their valuable feedback.
Our chisels are widely used by professional Buddhist sculptors, Noh mask makers, woodblock print artists, and Kamakura carving artisans. They also find applications in stone carving, popular TV-featured eraser stamps, leather crafting, figure modeling, musical instrument making, and many other fields. Gaining recognition not only in Japan but also internationally, our chisels are making their mark around the world.
