All 6 MUJIRUSHI model names
MUJIRUSHI makes its scissors and sells them itself, a direct model the Tokyo company has run since its 1997 establishment. The roots go deeper: Kenjiro Mizoguchi opened the Mizoguchi Store barber-equipment shop in Ikebukuro in 1928, and the present Toshima-ku firm descends from it. The range covers cutting, thinning, and left-handed shears, plus the premium ANFINY series (2013) and the Urban Style pet line (2009).
Overview
MUJIRUSHI is a Japanese scissors company headquartered in Toshima-ku, Tokyo. The current company was established in January 1997 as a scissors specialty business, but its roots trace back to 1928 when Kenjiro Mizoguchi opened “Mizoguchi Store,” a barber equipment shop in Ikebukuro. The business went through several reorganizations over the decades: Mizoguchi Trading Company Ltd. (1953), Mizoguchi Corporation (1966), and finally MUJIRUSHI Corporation (1997) when the company chose to focus entirely on scissors.
According to the brand, MUJIRUSHI operates on three principles: quality, price, and sincerity. The company emphasizes a direct manufacturing and sales model. According to MUJIRUSHI, this direct model lets them keep prices low while maintaining their quality standard. The brand also provides after-care service following purchase.
Product Range
MUJIRUSHI produces cutting scissors, thinning scissors, and left-handed scissors. The brand lists an extensive set of specialties: blunt cutting, slide cutting, chop cutting, volume control, texture control, combined cut and thinning, base cutting, stroke cutting, wet cutting, and dry cutting.
In 2009, the company began selling pet grooming scissors under the “Urban Style” line. In 2013, MUJIRUSHI launched its luxury series “ANFINY.” The company also publishes product catalogs for both its beauty/barber line (“b-sciss”) and its grooming salon line (“p-sciss”).
Distribution
MUJIRUSHI sells through its official website at mujirushi.co.jp. The company headquarters and factory are located at Mujirushi Building 3F, 1-29-5 Ikebukuro Honcho, Toshima-ku, Tokyo.
