Founded by Japanese cloud pruning expert Jake Hobson and his wife Keiko, Niwaki’s great products from Japan are highly valued by gardeners, craftspeople, chefs, artists, homemakers and everyone else who appreciates thoughtfully designed, useful and beautiful items.

Niwaki began over 15 years ago with the introduction of Niwaki Original Tripod Ladders, revered for their strength, stability and manoeuvrability. Over time it has introduced many more uniquely Japanese products, such as Hori Hori gardening trowels, Kenzan flower frogs and, of course, Japanese carbon steel shears and secateurs, including our highly-regarded Niwaki GR Pro range.

Niwaki’s diverse range of Japanese tools, knives and other gear is united by practicality, durability and style. The focus on refined utility delivers products that help you complete – and enjoy – the task at hand.
