Mizutani: The Brand and What to Check
Mizutani has made scissors since 1921 and is based in Matsudo, Chiba. We don't stock it, so here's what to know about the range and what to compare.
Mizutani’s company page lists its head office and both factories in Matsudo, plus showrooms in Asakusa, Tokyo, and in Osaka.
