A long-established manufacturer of craft tools in the Nihonbashi area of Tokyo, KAWAGUCHI presents the Cohana series, which makes use of various materials suitable for craft tools from all over Japan.
For the thread clipper, clippers by renowned shears maker Shosaburo were selected for their excellent sharpness, which has its roots in traditional sword forging skills. The clipper’s handle is wrapped in colorful Iga braid cords for a beautiful finish. For pattern weights used in Western-style sewing, Nanbu-tekki ironware was selected and turned into button shapes so that they act as both weights and craft pen holders. For the pincushion, Hyogo Prefecture’s Banshu-ori textile, known for its rich colors and pleasing texture achieved by dying the threads before they are woven, covers a wooden base made of cypress from the Kii Mountains.
