scissors Ishihiro Seisakusho has been making medical scissors for two generations since 1970. We have a workshop in Sumida, Tokyo, where Edo traditions and culture live on. Each pair is still made by hand by second-generation scissors craftsman, Akio Ishida.

The series of household items made for general household use, including "disassemblable scissors" and "dressing scissors," This series began with Ishida's desire to "hear what our customers have to say" and "know their reactions."

In 2011, it was certified as "Sumida Modern" as a regional brand product representing Sumida. In 2012, Ishihiro Seisakusho's cutting scissors were used for the ribbon cutting ceremony at Tokyo Skytree.

Scissors made by a scissors craftsman

Ishihiro Seisakusho's scissors are renowned for their quality, having been used for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Tokyo Skytree in 2012. They also weigh a reasonable 157g, making them extremely easy to use, with their sharpness and weight allowing for smooth, supple cutting.

The twist is the key to sharpness

"It can cut even without a blade," says Ishida, "and the important thing is the bite." The scissors made by Ishida have an evenly cut inner blade, which you can feel by touching it, and it forms a smooth arc. He then adds a "twist" which is the key to sharpness. This allows the cutting surfaces to intersect at a single point, allowing the scissors to cut with less force.

This process of interlocking is the most important, and requires the skill and experience of a craftsman, something that machines can never replicate. Ishida's scissors make use of the know-how he has cultivated in the manufacture of medical scissors, and are characterized by their smooth movement and the feeling that the blades stick together when cutting.

Making strong scissors

To create strong scissors that are hard and resilient, we use a type of stainless steel called "SUS420J2," which can be hardened. Hardening is done at 1030 degrees for two hours, and then tempering is done at 180 degrees to create a strong pair of scissors. Stainless steel is rust-resistant, and its hardness and resilience make it ideal for cutting fabric.
