Product information
Indeed, this tool is a plane, specifically its earliest, archaic form, which has been used in Japan since the 1st millennium AD. You will be amazed at the fine shavings – of course, after thorough sharpening and a generously allotted break-in period – that can be produced with this device.
Only a museum piece and no longer practical today? Wrong! Many woodworkers have discovered the Yarri Kanna for themselves and consider it an indispensable tool.
The furniture restorer can use it to adjust the thickness of inlaid veneers to match the surrounding veneer without affecting it in any way. The sculptor smooths the surfaces of their work without, for example, tearing open the pores with sandpaper. Artists and wood designers are presented with a wealth of unforeseen possibilities for surface structuring, ranging from the work result of a scrub plane to a smoothing plane.
Made by Master Tasai in Sanjo, Niigata Province. "Watetsu" is old iron, which, after forging, is often slightly cracked – see magnification. It is used for the carrier layer of the iron.
A leather guard for the blade is included.
