『Heart Made in JAPAN』
大正末期、東京を中心に甚大な被害をもたらした関東大震災。
私たちの道具作りは、復興に力を尽くす大工の方々にむけて
喰切という鋏を作ることから始まりました。
その後、大戦の時代を経て戦後の物資不足に陥ったなか
材料節約のため大工道具よりも小さなつめ切りを開発。
激動の時代の中で、なんとか生きる道を見出しました。
昭和から平成、令和へと、人間の生き方が急激に変化する中
私たちは鍛冶屋の原点に立ち返り、道具や仕事の本質的な価値を伝える場として
2011年に全国に先駆けてOPEN FACTORYを開業しました。
変化を続けてきた一方、ずっと変わらないものもあります。
世の中の困りごとや、難しいことを解決するため
使いやすく、便利で、美しい道具を作る事。
職人は日々技術を磨き、会社は職人を大切にする事。
これからの100年
私たちは人の心を動かす工場でありたい。
手に取るたびに笑顔になってしまう道具をつくりたい。
心を込めて、貴方に届けたい。
2026年、私たち諏訪田製作所は
創業から100年目を迎えました。
In the final years of the Taishō era, the Great Kantō Earthquake struck Tokyo and the surrounding region, leaving devastating damage in its wake.
Our story of toolmaking began then—by crafting Kuikiri shears for carpenters who were working tirelessly to rebuild the city.
As the years passed, the world was drawn into war. In the postwar period, when materials were scarce, we adapted once again.
To conserve resources, we shifted from large carpentry tools to something smaller: nail clippers.
In a time of upheaval, this ingenuity allowed us to find a way forward and continue making things that mattered.
From Shōwa to Heisei, and now Reiwa, the way people live has changed dramatically.
Amid these transformations, we returned to the very origins of the blacksmith’s craft.
In 2011, we opened our Open Factory, one of the first of its kind in Japan—
not merely as a place of production, but as a space to communicate the true value of tools and craftsmanship.
While we have continued to evolve, some things have never changed.
We create tools that solve real problems—tools that are easy to use, functional, and beautiful.
Our craftsmen refine their skills every day, and our company exists to support and value those craftsmen above all else.
As we look toward the next hundred years,
we aspire to be a factory that moves people’s hearts.
We want to create tools that bring a smile every time they are picked up.
And we want to deliver them to you—with care, sincerity, and pride.
In 2026, SUWADA Blacksmith Works celebrates its 100th anniversary.
