Visiting Misuyabari Needle Shop was one of my favourite stops when I visited Kyoto recently. The owner of the shop had so much pride in his craft and took great care to show me how to hold the miniature thread clippers at the cutting blade as compared to holding the regular-sized clippers by their handle. The shop and the craft are in their 14th generation of the same family, which blew my mind as it is about twice as old as Australia. Thank you for your video, I didn't know about any of these tools when I was there.
Fascinating video love pincushion useful for on dressmaker mannequin. I use the hera market for lines on fabric perfect crease. Did you know there is a ceremony in Japan where you take your old sewing needle to the temple and give thanks for all the sewing you were able to do with it. Thanks again
I am also building my sewing tools for wasai as I want to learn to make a kimono for myself. Meanwhile I made a video of how I use kakehari and kukedai for everyday sewing: th-cam.com/video/a2WGBVAiEH4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FQEepUsEuvCckEog

That sounds so lovely, giving thanks to our tools for all they have helped us achieve
