Tadatora-san was a craftsman who used to make sword guards (tsuba) in the past. It seems the design was a Japanese oak leaf. This appears to be a pair of tailor's scissors made by him. Metal adjustable screw tailor's scissors, Made in Japan, marked "Tadatora Saku" (Made by Tadatora). - Type: Tailor's scissors - Material: Metal - Features: Adjustable screw - Markings: Tadatora Saku, Made in Japan Weight: Approximately 180g Thank you for viewing. My grandmother used to use these. She only used them to cut up old fabric for rags. But for me, the scissors from the Pochitama sewing kit I got when I was in elementary school are easier to use.
