Yagyu’s company account identifies a Kure, Hiroshima scissor business incorporated in February 1990 after an earlier individual enterprise. It describes hand work in production and the adjustable split-screw pivot. For a buyer, the pivot is worth checking on the specific model rather than treating it as a feature of every Yagyu pair.
Choose the cutter or thinner by task
The official cutter catalogue separates blade and handle choices. For thinning, the SH1 and SH3 listings give different intended removal: about 15% for SH1 and about 30% for SH3. Those are maker model descriptions; technique and hair density affect the result. The shop also has a left-hand thinner category, so check the exact hand and tooth design before ordering.
Where to ask or buy
Yagyu’s direct shop provides named models and JPY terms. The company also invites partners through a dealer programme. Check which seller serves your location, and confirm delivery and service terms. The company describes work at its Hiroshima factory; ask about a particular pair if manufacturing location matters to you. Browse other makers in the Japan directory.
Yagyu FAQ
Who makes Yagyu scissors?
Yagyu’s company page identifies Yagyu Co., Ltd. in Kure, Hiroshima, and its own production work. The company was incorporated in February 1990 after an earlier individual business.
What is Yagyu’s split screw?
The maker describes an adjustable split-screw pivot with an internal spring. Check whether the selected model uses this mechanism; do not assume every pair has the same screw.
How do I choose a Yagyu thinner?
The maker’s thinner category lists SH1 at about 15% and SH3 at about 30% removal. Those are model descriptions, not a result guaranteed on every head of hair.
Does Yagyu sell only direct?
No. Its company site now invites dealer partnerships. The official shop remains a direct model route; confirm the current seller and local terms before ordering.
