Gardening gear by Niwaki takes cues from Japanese culture
Gardening and lifestyle brand Niwaki is showcasing a pair of rattan-wrapped shears as part of the Dezeen x Planted collaboration during this year's London Design Festival.
Niwaki, one of the brands selected by Planted's sustainability committee for its commitment to sustainable production, works with respected blacksmiths and craftsmen across Japan to create a range of gardening and lifestyle tools that borrow from the country's design ethos.
"We source and manufacture an extraordinary range of fine garden and woodworking tools, kitchen knives and outdoor gear, priding ourselves not only in the pleasure it brings our customers, but also the knowledge and enthusiasm we share with them," explained the brand, which works from head offices in the English town of Semley, Dorset.

Among the brand's gardening products is the Niwaki S-Type Clippers, which are made by craftsmen in the Japanese city of Sanj?. Featuring three-inch blades and handles wrapped with a single tendril of wisteria rattan, the clippers are meant for clipping and light pruning of plants.
There's also the Niwaki Trug, a honey-leather bag with contrast red stitching that can be filled with foraged fruits and vegetables, and the Moku Trowel and Cultivator, which are hand-forged by a Japanese father-and-son duo.
The brand's Kojima work jacket is crafted from indigo-coloured denim
