Want your flowers to last longer - then you need to use the right tools. The way flowers are cut - and the tools used - directly affects how they look, how they hold water, and how long they last. At Hanataba, we focus on thoughtful, well-made tools that support the art of working with cut flowers, bouquets, and floral arrangements.
Hanataba’s Japanese scissors and secateurs are designed for anyone who loves arranging flowers at home, harvesting blooms from the garden, or creating simple, beautiful bouquets.
Why Cutting Tools Matter for Fresh Flowers
When flowers are cut cleanly, they absorb water more easily and stay fresh for longer. Using sharp, well-balanced tools reduces damage to the stem and helps preserve the life of each bloom.
That’s why florists and flower lovers rely on proper flower scissors and secateurs rather than household scissors or dull blades. Hanataba’s tools are designed specifically for working with fresh flowers - from the first cut to the final arrangement.
Hanataba Japanese Scissors for Flower Arranging
Hanataba’s Japanese scissors are inspired by traditional flower-cutting tools used in Ikebana. They are ideal for precise work with fresh flowers and stems.
Key features:
- High-quality carbon steel for sharp, clean cuts
- Lightweight and easy to control
- Designed for cutting fresh flower stems, herbs, and fine branches
Our Japanese scissors are especially useful when arranging bouquets. They allow you to trim stems to the exact length you need and make angled cuts that improve water uptake in the vase.
Ideal for:
- Cutting flowers for bouquets
- Trimming stems for vase arrangements
- Detailed work during flower styling
- Ikebana and modern floral arrangements
Because they are comfortable to hold, Hanataba’s Japanese scissors are well suited for longer arranging sessions without hand strain.
Hanataba Secateurs for Harvesting Cut Flowers
While our scissors are perfect for detailed work, Hanatabas secateurs are ideal for cutting thicker or woody flower stems, especially when harvesting flowers from the garden.
Designed for fresh flowers:
- Sharp stainless steel blade
- Comfortable wooden handle
- Clean, controlled cuts for stronger stems
Secateurs are particularly useful for cutting flowers like roses, dahlias, hydrangeas, and other garden blooms. Many people use Hanataba secateurs to gather flowers, then switch to Japanese scissors indoors to refine and arrange their bouquet.
Caring for Your Hanataba Flower Tools
Proper care helps maintain sharpness and ensures clean cuts every time you work with flowers. To keep your Hanataba scissors and secateurs in good condition:
- Wipe the blades after cutting fresh flowers
- Dry thoroughly after use
- Apply a small amount of oil occasionally
- Store in a dry place
- Sharpen when needed
From Fresh Cut to Finished Bouquet
Our tools are designed to make cutting flowers feel easy, intentional, and enjoyable - every step of the way. Whether you’re cutting a few stems for the kitchen table or creating a larger bouquet as a gift. By using the right tools for fresh flowers, you give each bloom the best chance to last longer and look its best.
