Grip scissors are ideal for detailed work.
A simple grip scissors is also known as Japanese clothespins.  Although it has the oldest history as scissors, it is used only by Japanese people now.  Since the structure is simple, they all look the same at first glance, but in reality, their appearance and functions have changed slightly depending on the application.  It's not just the difference between long and short.  The condition of the spring in the waist is also different between cutting a hard object and cutting a soft object, but such a thing cannot be judged only by appearance.  You have to pick up any kind of scissors, not just a pair of scissors, to find out the value.  It may be said that the world of cutlery does not know the true value until it is used for a long time.
There are actually many types of scissors, even if they are called "grip scissors".  The current production areas are concentrated in Ono City (Hyogo Prefecture) and Sanjo City (Niigata Prefecture).  There is a big difference between the fine grip scissors and the ordinary ones, and it is difficult to tell the difference just by looking at the shape.  If you pick it up and open and close the blades, even an amateur can distinguish them by the way the two blades rub against each other.
The origin of the hand-held scissors is not clear, but although traces of them remain in various countries around the world, it seems that what is currently used almost exclusively in Japan has something to do with the unique culture of Japan.  Therefore, the grip scissors are also known as Japanese clothespins.  At Tsurugaoka Hachimangu in Kamakura, there is still the cosmetics of Masako Hojo (1157-1225), who was in the main room of Minamoto no Yoritomo and later called the second-ranked nun and wanted power in the Kamakura Shogunate.  There is a grip scissors with a chrysanthemum flower pattern engraved on the part.  It was probably used to straighten the hair and cut the ties.  The X-type intermediate fulcrum type flower arrangement scissors were adopted in Ikenobo, which started in the Muromachi period, but the lifeline of the U-shaped grip scissors has been carefully handed down in Japan.  The X-shaped intermediate fulcrum scissors are more powerful for cutting hard objects, but the grip scissors are easier to use for fine work, and the X-type grips are cut after opening the blade, whereas the U-shaped grip scissors are used.  There is convenience that you can use it with one touch of grasping.  Grip scissors are an indispensable tool for Japanese-style tailoring and embroidery, but they are also used for editing movie films because of the convenience of cutting with one touch.  The above-mentioned Ikenobo of flower arrangement, the old school that started in the middle of Edo, and the school that is said to be thousands must have been X-shaped that can cut the branches of flower arrangement that is as thick as a thumb, plant scissors, geta shop.  The scissors were also of the X-type system, but in Japanese life, the mainstream of scissors was probably made with scissors.  Scissors for core cutting should have been a necessity to cut the core of the lantern (andon), which was a lighting fixture until the early Meiji era, but even if the lantern remains as an antique, the core cutting scissors are not found.  Various ingenuity for each purpose may have brought about a change in the shape of the grip scissors, but it was buried as the living environment changed.  In human history, scissors must have always been a part of human life, but since scissors do not always appear as the protagonists, it is unavoidable that the opportunity to record them is extremely male.  U-shaped grip scissors are convenient for doing fine work, but apart from the professional world, there are fewer opportunities for fine manual work in modern daily life, and the demand for grip scissors tends to decrease.  Any trivial item can be made in time with an off-the-shelf product.  In the age of all ready-made, U-shaped scissors are becoming less and less essential, but in a society where people use less scissors in their daily lives, it is convenient but healthy.  It cannot be said that it is a good society.
