Description

Build a two-tool Japanese garden set around the work you do most.

Choose one forged Azui cultivation tool and one pair of Tobisho Type A or Type B pruning shears. The pair covers everyday soil work and clean pruning cuts, with an automatic 8% bundle saving.

Choose the Azui No.101 Four-Tine Hand Hoe for loosening, aerating and cultivating soil around established plants, the Azui No.102 Ika-Gata Hand Hoe for shallow weeding and preparing beds, or the Azui No.106 Pick Mattock for firmer ground, roots and close digging where concentrated force is useful.

Then choose from the available Tobisho Type A and Type B pruning shears. Compact 180mm and 185mm options suit smaller hands, while 200mm options provide a larger grip and more leverage. Metal and leather-wrapped handles are available subject to stock.

This pairing gives you two tools that return to use throughout the year: one for working the ground and one for pruning shrubs, fruit trees and garden growth. Select each tool to suit your soil, hand size and preferred pruning feel.
