Kaneshin 40J
A high-angle, close-up shot of a pair of professional-grade Kaneshin butterfly root shears (SKU 40J) resting on a textured, light brown surface. These authentic Japanese bonsai tools are crafted from forged steel with a matte black finish on the handles and body. The shears feature the classic butterfly design, characterized by two large, rounded finger loops that provide a comfortable and sturdy grip for heavy pruning tasks. The short, sharp blades are made of polished steel, tapering to a fine point for precision work. At the center, the blades are held together by a decorative, ridged silver-colored pivot screw. Detailed branding is visible on the handles: the lower handle is adorned with elegant gold-inlaid Japanese kanji characters, while the upper handle features the "KANESHIN" brand name stamped in capital block letters. The background is a mottled tan surface with subtle brown stains and a rustic texture, highlighting the clean lines and dark finish of the bonsai shears.

A product image of Tinyroots Japanese Choji Oil, a rust prevention solution specifically designed for the maintenance of bonsai tools. The image features the product's packaging: a rectangular cardboard box and a clear 1 fluid ounce (30ml) glass bottle equipped with a black rubber-topped glass dropper. The packaging design is split horizontally into two sections. The top half is white, decorated with an elegant pattern of red and white cherry blossoms (sakura) and subtle grey geometric shapes. The brand name "Tinyroots" is printed vertically in black, alongside a small red square containing the Japanese kanji for oil (油). The bottom half of both the box and the bottle label is solid black with bold white lettering. The text on the front of the box reads "CHOJI OIL," "RUST PREVENTION SOLUTION," and "1 FL.OZ (30ML)." The side of the box lists key product benefits such as "EASY TO USE DISPENSER," "PROTECTS & PRESERVES TOOLS," and "PREVENTS OXIDATION & RUST." It also notes that this is part of a "3-PIECE KIT" including Choji oil, a rust eraser, and a lint-free cloth. Small icons indicate the product is "READY TO USE!" and comes with a "100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEED" seal. The glass bottle's label mirrors this design, with a large, faint grey kanji character for oil in the background of the black section.

About Kaneshin

Founded in 1919, there is over 100 years of history when it comes to manufacturing high-quality bonsai tools. There is no debate that Kaneshin tools will last the test of time with its unmatched quality and durability. Pick up the tool the first time and instantly you will see why they are regarded as highly as they are.

We ship thousands of bonsai trees and supplies each year, and every order is packed with care by our team. Live trees are watered, secured, and packaged to help them arrive safely and ready for their new home.

Live bonsai trees generally ship early in the week, Monday and Tuesday, to reduce time in transit. Tools, pots, soil, fertilizer, and other non-living items usually ship throughout the week.

Bonsai Outlet is a licensed nursery, not just a warehouse. We follow the proper inspection and certification requirements for shipping live plants across state lines. When a state requires additional documentation, such as a nematode certificate or nursery inspection certificate, we work to ensure the proper requirements are met before shipping.
