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 approach lets them offer the same quality level as higher priced competitors at roughly half the cost. The brand also provides after-care service following purchase.
