Shinwa Rules Co., Ltd. was formed in 1971, when three measuring-tool makers, Watanabe Doki Seisakusho, Hanyu Keiki and Watasei Doki, merged in the Tsubame-Sanjō region of Niigata, a centre of Japanese metalworking for centuries.
Shinwa has focused on accuracy from the start. It patented a calibration method for stainless steel rules in 1977, gained ISO 9001 certification in 1999 and became a JCSS-accredited calibration laboratory in 2001. The company opened an office in Dalian, China, in 1991 and a branch in Illinois, USA, in 2007.
Shinwa is now Japan's top-selling maker of metal rules. Its squares, rules, sashigane, marking gauges and levels are used every day by carpenters, metalworkers and makers who need measurements they can trust.

This lovely little measuring tool was originally developed by Shinwa to measure tyre tread, but it has proven to be a fantastic tool for measuring the depth of small and precise joinery. The end of the gauge measures a mere 3mm x 1mm, allowing it to fit into fine work of almost any scale. The compact base has a width of 40mm, and the material is a slim 1.5mm thick, making it easy to handle and position with accuracy.
