Description

Japanese four-tine hand hoe for weeding and soil cultivation

The Azui No.101 Japanese Four-Tine Hand Hoe is a compact hand cultivator for gardeners who need a precise tool for weeding, loosening surface soil and replanting in vegetable beds, borders and tight garden spaces.

The four forged tines work through light soil and small weeds without the reach or aggression of a full-size hoe. Azui lists this model with an 85mm tip width, 145mm head length, 390mm Japanese beech handle and 360g total weight.

Use it when you want a Japanese hand hoe for close garden work. For a heavier hoe with both a flat blade and four tines, compare the Azui No.102 Japanese Ika-Gata Hand Hoe. For full collection browsing, see Azui Seisakusho tools, Japanese digging tools or Japanese garden tools.
