These approximately 6-inch stainless steel thinning shears allow for precise cutting. They are an heirloom of 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. Afterwards, in Harbin, Manchuria, he became close with people like Mr. Otsuka, the president of the South Manchuria Railway, the director of the National Symphony Orchestra, Hisaya Morishige, and Junzaburo Ban, and was entrusted 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 high-quality items. 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 them, and they are in remarkably beautiful condition. - Type: Thinning Shears - Material: Stainless Steel - Length: Approximately 6 inches Thank you for viewing.
