Know before you buy
The kit includes three essential tools for bonsai maintenance: a pair of traditional bonsai scissors, a rake-tipped tweezer for soil work, and a delicate bonsai broom for cleaning debris.
The carbon steel scissors are designed to handle branches up to 1/2 inch (10mm) in diameter. For thicker branches, you should use a dedicated bonsai branch cutter to avoid damaging the blades.
While the tools are designed for longevity, they should be wiped clean and dried thoroughly after every use. Applying a light coat of camellia oil to the blades periodically will help protect the carbon steel from rust and keep the action smooth.
Yes, this set is specifically curated for beginners. The tools are designed with an ergonomic focus to ensure they are comfortable and easy to handle while you learn the fundamentals of shaping and pruning.
This set is crafted in Japan, adhering to traditional manufacturing standards that prioritize precision and durability for bonsai care.
