Build Your Own Japanese Garden Work Set

Build a four-tool Japanese garden set for cultivation, planting, pruning and clearing.

Choose one Azui cultivation tool, one Tobisho Type A or Type B pruning shear, one hori hori and one Japanese sickle. The four tools cover distinct jobs: general soil work, focused planting and close digging, clean pruning, and clearing grass, weeds and softer garden growth.

Starting price: The displayed price is the lowest-priced configuration. Your final bundle price updates with the selected tools and is confirmed before checkout. The advertised saving is measured against the current individual prices of your selected tools.

Your selected set receives an automatic 12% bundle saving.

Choose the Azui No.101 Four-Tine Hand Hoe for lighter, controlled cultivation and aeration, the Azui No.102 Ika-Gata Hand Hoe for versatile cultivation, shallow weed scraping, breaking small clods and drawing loose soil, or the Azui No.106 Pick Mattock for concentrated breaking, narrow planting holes and compact digging in localised patches of firmer ground.

The No.106 can loosen soil between established roots where there is enough working space, but it is not a root axe and should not be used as a pry bar.

Choose a Tobisho Type A for finer, smoother pruning cuts or Type B for a more robust general-pruning profile. Select 180mm or 185mm for compact handling, or 200mm for a fuller grip and greater leverage.

Choose a hori hori for planting holes, transplanting and close digging. Blade material, shape, guard, handle, sheath and care requirements vary by selected model.

Choose a sickle according to blade shape, size and intended cutting work. Available options suit grass, young weeds, soft stems and garden growth, but exact uses and care requirements vary by model. A sickle is not a substitute for secateurs, loppers or a pruning saw on woody material beyond its intended capacity.

The Azui tool handles cultivation and general soil work, the hori hori handles focused planting and close digging, the Tobisho shear handles woody pruning within secateur capacity, and the sickle clears grass, weeds and softer growth. The four tools expand coverage rather than duplicate one another.

For a smaller three-tool option without a sickle, see the Build Your Own Planting & Pruning Set. For a two-tool cultivation and pruning setup, see the Build Your Own Cultivation & Pruning Set. For the complete compact Azui soil-working range, see the Azui Complete Garden Cultivation Set.

Clean and dry all four tools after use. Remove soil from the Azui head and hori hori, remove sap and plant residue from the pruning blades and sickle, and apply a light coat of camellia oil to exposed carbon-steel surfaces where applicable. Follow the selected hori hori and sickle product care requirements.

Do not pry with the Azui tool, hori hori or pruning shears, do not twist the shears, and use loppers or a pruning saw for branches beyond secateur capacity. Use the sickle only within the cutting capacity stated for the selected model.
