Product description
Japanese hammers - genno or kanazuchi - are, just like so many tools from Japan, a bit different to their western siblings. For starters, they’re beautiful, simple and elegant. These ones (but not all) have octagonal heads, with flat sides, so one can hammer from the side rather than just the face. One end of the head is flat, the other slightly convexed, for fine finishing.
The handles are Japanese white oak (Quercus myrsinifolia - you should know that by now) and they’re longer and thinner than one would expect, resulting in a finely balanced tool.
The high quality steel of the head helps to absorb shocks, making your hammering experience a little less taxing. Choose the lighter hammer for detailed chisel work and fine joinery and the heavier hammer for all those things plus good old fashioned nail bashing.
