These Japanese ikebana scissors are designed for traditional Japanese floral art. Ikebana is an ancient art that involves creating minimalist floral arrangements emphasizing line, balance, and emptiness as much as the flower itself. To preserve water circulation in the stems and prolong the freshness of the flowers, the cut must be perfectly clean. This polished model, the most common and versatile size, is made from Aogami #2 steel (Blue Paper Steel), a Japanese carbon steel renowned for its exceptional sharpness and durable edge retention. Forged with artisanal skill, these scissors offer precision, balance, and power, while remaining comfortable in hand. Available in 165 mm or 180 mm, they are suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners.
