Awaji Kawara Seam Ripper - White

Awaji Island in Hyogo Prefecture, blessed with good soil, is one of the leading Kawara (Japanese traditional roof tiles) producing areas in Japan. This ceramic tile, made from Awaji Kawara clay, has been glazed, fired, and made into the handle of this beautiful seam ripper. It has a smooth texture and a glossy colour coat on its rustic surface. Each has a silk tassel with gold threads that match the colour of the glaze.

Useful for cutting threads for seams and punching buttonholes, the seam ripper has a sharp blade made in Japan and a protective genuine leather cover with the Cohana logo embossed.

Founded in 1950 as a roof tile manufacturer in Minamiawaji City on Awaji Island, one of Japan’s leading Kawara-producing regions, Irakato has passed down traditional Kawara-making techniques through three generations.

Irakato manufactures traditional roof tiles while also creating lifestyle goods based on traditional tile-making techniques and materials.
