This is a stainless steel, double-edged thinning shear, enabling precise cuts. - This item belonged to my father, who passed away 36 years ago. He was apprenticed to the Kojima family, who cut the hair of the Imperial Family at the time. Later, in Harbin, Manchuria, he became close with people like Mr. Otsuka, the president of the South Manchuria Railway and the director of the National Symphony Orchestra, Hisaya Morishige, and Junzaburo Ban, and they entrusted him with their hair. He apparently often went drinking with them. Even after returning from Manchuria, he collected tools as a hobby, including German-made and domestic masterpieces. He worked as a barber until two years before his death at the age of 77. He was a man who never neglected maintenance, so I, his son, have never had to maintain it, and it remains in beautiful condition. : Thinning Shears - Material: Stainless Steel - Design: Double-edged design Thank you for viewing.
