Kyoto Hasami Shokunin is the name of Toshikazu Ohta’s Japanese scissor and sharpening business. Its current operator page names FLOW Co., Ltd. and gives an address in Ogawa-machi, Saitama. The Kyoto name remains on the shop, so use the current address rather than assuming it still operates from Kyoto.
From sharpening to an own-label range
Ohta’s profile says he opened an independent hair-shear sharpening shop in 2002 and began developing own-brand scissors in 2008. The direct shop now lists cutters and thinners for salon, barber and grooming use. For example, first-5 is a compact cutter; the SAN-27V2 entries are thinners. Compare each model’s hand orientation, length and cutting job before buying. The model pages give their own materials and prices.
The service site also explains sharpening and modification. Ask the shop about the current process before sending a tool in. Other makers and shops appear in the Japan directory.
