Niwaki Topiary Shears
Niwaki Topiary Shears
Made in Japan
The Niwaki Topiary Shears • Short are elegant, finely balanced shears designed for precision work in the garden. Ideal for box clipping, topiary and other delicate shaping, they feature long, slender blades and refined handles that offer exceptional control for detailed cuts.
Forged from Aogami (Blue Paper) steel, the blades are renowned for their sharpness and edge retention, staying lethally sharp with minimal maintenance. True to traditional Japanese design, these shears embrace simplicity — just wood, steel and a few rivets -resulting in a beautifully tactile, purposeful tool.
Perfect for careful clipping rather than heavy hedge work, they’re a joy to use for gardeners who value precision, balance and craftsmanship.

Important Update for SA, NSW, ACT & QLD Customers
Due to updated Government biosecurity requirements, all orders containing potted plants must now undergo treatment and inspection for Tomato Potato Psyllid (TPP) prior to dispatch.
As this process has recently been introduced, some orders may experience slightly longer processing times while these procedures are implemented and streamlined during early 2026.
We kindly ask customers in the affected states to allow additional time for dispatch. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
QLD Orders
To meet treatment and inspection scheduling, orders must be placed by 12pm Friday to be shipped the following Tuesday. Orders received after this time will be dispatched the subsequent week.
A $5.00 quarantine inspection surcharge applies to orders delivered to QLD to cover the additional inspection and compliance requirements.
