Forked Hoe
Japanese Forked Hoes are excellent for breaking ground prior to planting or sewing. From a standing position, the hoe’s well balanced handle means the head can be swung into the ground, the robust tines taking purchase, and a levering action allows weeds to be removed, or soil and grassy sods to be broken down.

Hoes are one of the oldest garden tools, predating even the plough, and can be traced back to Ancient Egypt and Sumeria where they were used extensively for cultivation. Niwaki draws on an extraordinary Japanese tradition in making long lasting, robust tools.
