Description
Tokyo Riki Kocho IRODORI (彩) premium cutting scissors in cobalt steel with offset handle and convex blade. Four-tier series (standard, SPECIAL, SUPER, Excellent), made in Japan.
Where this sits
In Tokyo Riki's cutting scissors lineup the Tokyo Riki Kocho IRODORI Cutting Scissors occupies the mid-range tier, priced below the Tokyo Riki Hakucho SUPER Cutting Scissors. Manufactured in Japan.
The Kocho IRODORI (彩, meaning “colouring” or “variety”) is Tokyo Riki’s premium cutting series within the Kocho line. Tokyo Riki has manufactured scissors in Itabashi, Tokyo since 1946, and the IRODORI range represents the upper tier of their cobalt steel cutting portfolio. Four model grades — standard, SPECIAL, SUPER, and Excellent — let stylists select the specification level that matches their work and budget.
Cobalt steel is the material Tokyo Riki publishes for this series. The offset handle lowers the thumb ring relative to the finger ring, reducing wrist deviation through repeated cutting passes. The convex blade edge produces a clean, low-resistance cut suited to precision work.
For current pricing across the four IRODORI tiers, visit Hasamiya 884 or see the Tokyo Riki brand page on ScissorPedia.
