2. SUWADA nail clippers: A refined version of the "cutting" function.



Founded in 1926 in Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture, a region with a long history of blacksmithing, SUWADA nail clippers are handcrafted one by one by skilled artisans. The true essence of these clippers lies in their exceptional sharpness. Thanks to advanced blade-aligning technology that perfectly fits the blades together without any gaps, they cut cleanly, without scattering nail clippings, and leave a beautiful, smooth finish without the need for filing.

During the event, in addition to SUWADA 's standard nail clippers, bonsai scissors, a "custom-made 3-piece nail care set," and a special gift set called the "Grooming Care Set," which includes nail clippers, a leather case, and tweezers, will be available for the first time.
