This high-quality kit includes all the basic tools needed to mark, cut and clear the small half-lap joints that are required for the frames of shoji screens and kumiko.
This kit includes;
- Our fantastically fine Japanese Dozuki Saw Extra Fine 150MM, Cross Cut
profile. Utilising a 0.2mm thick saw plate, this saw leaves kerfs 0.3mm thick and is capable of following scribed knife lines.
- 2x 150mm hatagane clamps, used to clamp the frame members together for accurate and repeatable marking
- 2x 240mm Hatagane clamps
- 1x Brass Kiridashi Marking Knife - this is used to mark cut lines in the frame that the saw will later follow. We include a right bevel option.
- 1x 45mm Shinwa try square for transferring dimensions across all members of the frame from the master stick.
- 1x 3mm Oire Nomi Bench Chisel - perfect for clearing out your half laps once both sides of the joint have been cut.
- 1 x Japanese 115g Genno hammer - may be our regular or bronze finish hammer, depending on sock
For those looking to learn more about shoji and kumiko making, Toshio Odate's book on shoji is instructive and inspiring. Similarly, Des King is a master of Kumiko and a prolific Australian maker and teacher of the craft. His books can be bought through his website and are a goldmine of information in the field.

Such a simple thin little knife, but razor sharp and hasn't left my pocket since it arrived. Perfect for those small jobs that seem to pop up hourly from opening packages to trimming the casing off electrical wire. Call me old fashioned but the brass "case/handle" suits this type of knife perfectly.
These clamps are just elegant to use and were ideal for the Kumiko lamps I was gluing up.
Excelenct service.
Amazing products, loved the book about Japanese joinery. Great saws also.
Very well made clamps at a very reasonable price. Shipping was quick and I will be purchasing more tools from this site in future.
Thank you
Frank
Always great
A very useful little pocket-sized item which gets used at least once per day. Extremely sharp.
A handy little knife for trimming and marking. Not the most comfortable in hand, but the price, sharpness and utility easily make up for that.
Another saw that I bought for my husband. He loves these saws so much, he now owns several of them in various sizes.
wonderful when you need to whack material with something a bit softer than a standard hammer
All good
very sharp, but handle short
Just love these 150mm clamps. Such good quality and easy to use on small jobs
Great for small projects and easy to use
Brilliant little squares, perfect for small layouts and checking square on smaller parts.
Want sure if the blade would fit my saw but it was an exact fit and was delivered really quickly.
Excellent. Beautifully simple and very easy to strop and keep sharp.
Love Simple Kiridashi Marking Knife its a great additon to my little workshop. its precise and easy to use. I have 2 of them as ones a back up I misplace one.
Excellent item.
Well made
Perfect for my needs.
Great service fast postage.
Highly recommend.
Boughf these to use making kumiko and they do help make it a much easier task. Able to hold all the kumiko sticks together whilst cutting.
These clamps are just elegant to use and were ideal for the Kumiko lamps I was gluing up.
Very good for the price.
Haven't used it as yet, but I think it will prove to be a good tool to have.
I've used the right hand marking knife for over 2 years now. It's a beautifully light, well made knife with a sleek cover to allow safe storage. The wide blade acts as a handy datum register when scoring timber against other profiles.
Awesome service as usual
cost effective and perfect for the job.
Nice little hammer. Use it to adjust my jap plane.
I didn't really need a new hammer, but this is beautiful, and that makes it more enjoyable to work with. The handle in not stained or oiled. I used some Rubio Monocoat oil and it came up a treat.
I PURCHASED THIS KNIFE TO BE USED AS A MARKING KNIFE,VERY SHARP AND A VERY GOOD PRODUCT. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND PETER SWINDELLS
Perfectly weighted, a great size, and the store owner dropped it off at my place himself to make sure it got to me quickly. Only possible problem I have is that I'd misjudged the weight of my steel hammer which i'd bought this to match, so now i'm considering buying a larger one of them too...
These inexpensive left and right marking knives do what they are supposed to do, cut sharp lines across grain up against a straight edge. The thin handles take some getting used to but feel comfortable in use.
Hi Paul,Glad to hear that our knives are getting a work out in your shop and performing to your expectations. If you have a lot of marking out to do and the thin handles don't suit, we have a few other options that might fit your hand better. May your knife lines be fine and your kerfs straight,The JTA Team
