Insights
Okatsune is considered amongst the finest makers of garden tools in Japan. Started in the 1940s in Onomichi, its founder, Tsuneichi Okano, named it after a conflation of his own name. Trained as a blacksmith, he channelled the traditional skills required to make Katan swords for Samurai, and developed the extremely hard, high carbon steel used for Okatsune tools.
