Plastic-free Policy:
Japanese Tools Australia is an environmentally conscious company and we endeavour to eliminate plastics in as many parts of our business as possible. Your purchase will be shipped in recyclable non-plastic materials, and we re-use cardboard and paper wherever possible in our shipping process.
Exceptions to plastic-free policy:
Unfortunately, we are required to dispatch some express items in pre-paid satchels and in such circumstances we have no choice but to use a plastic satchel. Please keep in mind these satchels are 100% recyclable. Our suppliers also use plastic in their packaging of some products, and we do not remove these protective measures before shipping. We are considering strategies to eliminate these two remaining sources of plastic in our shipping process. As many of our items are hand-made, they do not arrive to us or to you with extraneous packaging, though this is not the case for all of our products.

We pack our shipments in specialised materials to ensure that our customers find them in the same condition that we send them. If you receive your products in a damaged condition, please email info@japanesetools.com.au with your order number and photos of the condition of the products within a week of collection. If an item is deemed to have been damaged in transit we will replace it with like kind at no extra shipping cost to the customer.If you are unhappy with the condition of your product and it has not been damaged in transit, please refer to our returns and exchanges policy.
Description
Description
In 2019 we had the pleasure of hosting 25 students in Melbourne and Brisbane to make kanna under the tutelage of Kyoto carpenter Takami Kawai-sensei. In these classes, we supplied 70mm Yamamoto blades got to see all of them set up (backs lapped flat and sharpened to #8000 grit) and used to make completed planes. This experience, as well as our own experiments in building and sharpening our own planes with Yamamoto blades, convinced us (truly, madly, deeply) of the quality of these blades - as if their maker's reputation wasn't enough.
These planes utilise Yamamoto's same hand-forged blue paper steel (aogami #1) blade sets that we used in those classes. The blocks that they are set in are impressive for their beautifully selected grain and the implementation of a tsutsumi. The tsutsumi is an extra facet of the blade bed that matches and supports the bevel of the blade. It is designed to minimise vibration by adding supporting timber much closer behind the cutting edge than would otherwise be possible. The tsutsumi will require the craftsperson to pay extra attention to the sole underneath the blade, and also adds another element to monitor while setting and tuning the blade's bedding.
The mouth on the Tesshinsai planes will be extremely tight.
Furthermore, the sole of these planes is not relieved behind the mouth. This gives the user complete control over how the contact patches of the plane are set up, and what tolerances are deemed acceptable in the sole conditioning.
For these reasons, this plane is not recommended as a first tuning experience. For those who have tuned a kanna before, patience and care in the tuning of this block will reveal a plane capable of beautiful results.
