Cohana Snips

The Cohana Winter Limited Edition for 2024 is based on the theme KANTSUBAKI : winter camellias blooming in the snow. The theme colours are a deep pinky red for the camellia and white for snow, representing the beauty and strength of kantsubaki blooming brightly in the severe cold of winter.

As always, Cohana have sought out the best manufacturers to create their vision of beautiful, high quality tools. These snips are made by Hasegawa Cutlery, a manufacturer of cutting tools established in 1933 and located in Seki, Gifu Prefecture, Japan's foremost cutlery-making town.

The scissors work by gripping and pinching lightly to cut your thread or yarn.  
Despite their small size, these cute mini-scissors have great cutting ability!

The small silk tassels are carefully handmade by Imasato, a specialist in tassels and knots founded in 1907 and located in Yame, Fukuoka Prefecture. For over 100 years, Imasato has been making tassels for Yame Chochin paper lanterns, which are a traditional handicraft. 

Each pair comes with a little leather pouch and in a beautiful Cohana gift box. 

Snips measure about 3.5 cm long.
