Skilled craftsmen at Chikamori Co. Ltd designed a light and easy-to-carry rectangular paper-based tool case that opens horizontally into a tray for easy access to the contents inside.
Two magnets are built into the inside of the tray, so we have included a little tiny pair of scissors perfect for snipping a strand of yarn or thread. Ruler scales are etched into the surface of the tool case, which is handy for taking measurements.
Use this case to carry your sewing and / or knitting tools. This would also make a great pencil case.
Chikamori Co. Ltd. was established in 1926 in the small town of Konan, Kochi Prefecture as a producer of high-end gift boxes. In addition to these high-end gift boxes, they manufacture old type boxes with flat and square clasps, which are rarely seen nowadays. Compared to today's machine-made products, the process of crafting these exquisite boxes takes more time and labor, but the quality is evident in the unique texture of these traditional handicrafts.

About the scissors:
How small can the very best scissors be? This was the playful challenge of Mr. Hasegawa to his artisans at Hasegawa Cutlery, a manufacturer of edged tools in Seki, Japan's foremost cutlery-making town. The result: the adorable and remarkably sharp Seki Mini Scissors. They are a true labor of love from a company with a commitment to time-tested craftsmanship and inventive ideas.
Simply pinch lightly to cut cleanly through thread, cloth, or other thin material with ease. Scissors come with a genuine leather case for convenient portability, and each pair is adorned with a beautiful silk tassel from Tassel Studio MARIMO in Fukuoka Prefecture.
Length 1.37" [35 mm]
