Build a two-tool Japanese garden set around the work you do most
Choose one Azui cultivation tool to match your soil work and one Tobisho Type A or Type B pruning shear to match your cutting style, hand size and preferred feel. The pair covers two jobs gardeners return to throughout the year: working the soil and making clean pruning cuts.
Your selected pair receives an automatic 8% bundle saving.
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.
Step 1: Choose your Azui soil tool
- Azui No.101 Four-Tine Hand Hoe: choose this for lighter, controlled cultivation and aeration around established plants.
- Azui No.102 Ika-Gata Hand Hoe: choose this for the most versatile combination of cultivation, scraping shallow weeds, breaking small clods and drawing loose soil.
- Azui No.106 Pick Mattock: choose this for concentrated breaking, starting 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.
Step 2: Choose your pruning style
- Type A: thinner blade profile for finer, smoother pruning cuts and a more precise cutting feel.
- Type B: more robust blade profile for general garden pruning and slightly stronger work.
Step 3: Choose your shear size
- 180mm and 185mm: compact handling for smaller hands or close pruning.
- 200mm: fuller grip and greater leverage for gardeners who prefer a larger shear.
Available metal and leather-wrapped handle variants are shown in the bundle selector and depend on current stock.
Why this pairing works
The Azui tool handles ground-level work, while the Tobisho shear handles above-ground plant maintenance. Together they cover regular cultivation, shallow soil work and seasonal pruning without forcing you into a fixed combination that may not suit your garden or hand size.
Combining the two tools in one order also uses the shipping carton more efficiently, which helps support the 8% bundle saving.
