Crafted in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata, the Asano Mekiri Pruning Shears are traditional Japanese garden snips designed for precise pruning and everyday garden maintenance.

Originally developed for mekiri, the careful trimming of new buds on bonsai and ornamental plants, these versatile shears are equally suited to deadheading flowers, pruning roses and shrubs, harvesting herbs, cutting twine, and other light gardening tasks. The fine-pointed blades provide excellent precision, making detailed cutting comfortable even during extended use.

The blades are forged from high-carbon steel, offering exceptional sharpness and excellent edge retention, while the tan leather-wrapped handles provide a comfortable, secure grip. A matching leather loop keeps the shears safely closed when not in use.

What’s in the box?

Our products are made with love and care in Japan, but it’s with you where their story lives on. And for that to happen, we need to make sure they arrive with you in one piece! We carefully wrap each item in bubble wrap and traditional Japanese newspapers (you’ll often find a Japanese crossword or sudoku to solve!). You’ll also receive a short guide on how to care for and cherish your new tableware. Sustainability is important to us and we’re working hard on ways to keep items safe while being kind to the planet, too.
