Japanese Tools Showcase 22: Shozaburo / Feather / Green Bell (杉山刃物店)

This episode covers the items I purchased from a store I frequent when I'm in Mishima, Japan (Shizuoka Prefecture). The store is called "Sugiyama Hamono-ya" (Sugiyama edged-tool store): https://flic.kr/p/TKESeW

The store is family owned and run (now third generation). The father/son speak minimal English, but they are willing to work with you through email exchanges.
