Japanese gardening tools differ from your run of the mill Big Box gardening tools because they are designed with the intention of upholding a centuries old traditional art form. Cheaper tools will not last very long and you will definitely end up spending more in the long run. Okatsune Garden Scissors (Ueki basami) These garden scissors are great for everyday use and pruning pines and thinning. They are an essential tool on the Japanese gardenerÕs belt. In the Kansai area these are used more than any other tool I have been told. They are best used if you extend your index finger outside of the looped handle.
