"Nigiri-Basami"
Befor visiting his workshop, I have never paid attention to nigiri-basami. Of course my mother used to use nigiri-basami when she sewed, and I also had one in sewing box ( we learned sewing at junior high school). But I couldn't imagine how artisans made them elaborately with their souls.
After visiting his workshop, this small scissors looks completely different for me.
Fujiwara san never boasts his very skilled technique - he only says, ' I am only little bit brazen. Because I can feel I must be able to make good edges and scissors without any doubt I , I can grind the sharpest edges'.
Nigiri-basami doesn't have joit parts, and only made of an iron. Hownever, the tips of edges must be matched very precisely. We wish we can convey this difficulty with photos and descriptions.
Fujiwara san is very sedate person, just similar to the existence of nigiri-basami. Nigiri-basami is very usual small gear, which never make a personal statement . Hownever, users know the real worth - only products made by genuine artisans have excellent edges.
Fujiwara san is the artisan among artisans.
