This set includes a pair of vintage "Kasho" brand branch-cutting shears—a renowned Japanese name in the world of bonsai tools—alongside a modern pair of pruning shears. The vintage shears, hand-forged during the Showa era, feature the "Kasho" brand name and a special maker’s mark clearly visible on the blade. They follow the traditional Japanese design for branch-cutting shears, with steel forged using time-honored techniques. The curvature of the blades is specifically tailored for trimming bonsai branches, and the spring mechanism ensures smooth opening and closing. The set is completed by an additional pair of modern pruning shears.
