Japanese hammers come in various shapes and sizes, each designed for specific tasks. Some of the hammers we offer at Kakuri include:

Ryoguchi Genno: This hammer features two striking faces: one flat and the other slightly curved. The design especially effective for nail driving. By driving the nail on a flat surface at the beginning and then on a curved surface at the end, you can avoid scratching the material surface. There are various shapes such as round, square, and octagonal.

Daruma Genno: A short, heavy hammer with a stable center of gravity, ideal for striking chisels.

Hakoya Kanazuchi (Boxer Hammer): A hammer with a claw for pulling nails.

Brass and Pure Copper Genno: Made from softer materials, these hammers are used when you want to avoid damaging the surface you're working on, such as for adjusting plane blades.

Wooden Mallet: A wooden hammer used for striking wood without causing damage to the material.
