Japanese garden Tools in Perth, Western Australia

East West Tools is a small Perth based business focused on authentic Japanese gardening tools. Every order is picked, inspected and packed here in Western Australia, so you get the benefit of traditional Japanese craftsmanship with local support and fast dispatch.

We specialise in Japanese secateurs, hedge shears, digging and weeding tools, and tool care products. Orders are shipped from Perth to customers across WA and the eastern states.

Why Japanese tools work so well in WA gardens

Western Australian gardens deal with hard soils, hot summers and tough plants. Japanese garden tools are built for similar conditions, with sharp high carbon steel edges and slim profiles that bite cleanly into wood and roots.

Compared with mass produced hardware store tools, the hand finished edges on Japanese secateurs and shears stay sharper for longer when basic care is followed. This means cleaner cuts on natives, fruit trees and ornamentals, and less strain on your hands.

You can start with a single pair of Japanese secateurs for day to day pruning, then add hedge shears for shaping hedges and topiary, and a Hori Hori or weeding sickle for digging and weed removal. Each tool fills a clear role, so you are not buying clutter, just well made pieces that earn their place.

Local Perth dispatch and support

All stock is held in Perth. When you place an order, it is packed by hand, checked for alignment and edge quality, and shipped out with tracking. There are no long delays, no overseas warehouses and no drop shipping.

If you are unsure which size or style suits your garden, you can email with photos or a short description of your plants and how you like to work. Advice comes from actual use of these tools in Australian conditions, not from a catalogue.

See the tools in person at Perth markets

East West Tools regularly attends garden and makers markets in Perth and the surrounding area. These events are a chance to handle the tools, feel the weight of different secateurs and shears, and ask questions about care and sharpening.

Upcoming markets are listed on our website and social channels. If you prefer to buy in person, you can visit us at these events, then reorder consumables like camellia oil and sharpening stones online when you need them.

Tool care and sharpening in Western Australia

Sharp edges are the main reason Japanese tools feel different in use. To keep them performing, we stock stones, rust erasers and camellia oil suitable for high carbon steel. Every tool ships with basic care guidance, and our online care guides walk you through cleaning, sharpening and storage in a clear order.

If you are in Perth and want help choosing the right care kit, you can contact us before or after buying. We can suggest a simple setup that suits your tools and how often you work in the garden.
