The Japanese Small Bonsai Pliers are specially designed for creating Jin—the technique of stripping bark from branches or trunks to produce the aged, weathered look prized in bonsai aesthetics. This small version offers excellent control for fine detail work, particularly on smaller trees or tight areas.

These pliers allow you to carefully peel bark and wood to create realistic deadwood features, giving your bonsai the appearance of age and natural hardship. Ideal for artists working with shari or jin effects on refined trees.
