Japanese woodworking hammer
Japanese traditional woodworking hammer is called "Genno," and it has a double face. A flat face is used for most of the hammering, and the curved side called a "Kigoroshi" is used for the last blow of nailing. The "Kigoroshi" is designed to drive a nail into the wood without damaging the surrounding surface.

All KAKURI products are manufactured in Japan by Japanese master craftsmen. The skills and craftsmanship that have consistently manufactured carpentry tools since 1946 reside in each saw. Please feel the authentic Japanese quality tools.

How to use Japanese woodworking hammer GENNO
1. Chiseling
Great for hitting Japanese wood chisel. It enables accurate woodworking with a chisel, such as cutting, mortising, chopping, paring and shaping, etc.
2. Adjusting and setting plane
For Japanese block planes, it is essential to adjust the blade with a Japanese hammer. With the right adjustments, you can make the beautifully smooth wood's surface.
3. Nailing
It is an ideal hammer for hitting a nail. If you make a pilot hole with a Japanese woodworking drill (KIRI auger) in advance, you can nail more precisely and quickly.
Please hit with a flat face at first. When you nail mostly, change to a domed face for finish strike. The domed face head does not damage the wood surface.

Compared to the utilitarian design of western hammers, Japanese tools are beautifully shaped art-forms. This hammer has an oval-shaped head which was not evident in the ambiguous pictures. I was expecting a round hammer head. But was surprised to see oval. Slightly disappointing. The profile of the head is an eye pleasing hour glass. The build quality is great. The finish is excellent. There are no flaws in it. The wood used in the handles, I think it's a type of Oak, has a lot of grain to them. You can feel it all. I haven't owned a handle like this before. It should provide an excellent non-slip grip. I will say that the handle is very long. Longer than any of the Western or other Japanese hammers. Given the oval shaped head and the long handle, you have to be careful when hammering small nails. It's definitely better suited for adjusting Japanese planes or chisel work.
Awesomeness in a word

I do another of finish carpentry. I own several Japanese hammers. I really like the way this hammer feels in my hand. You can tell the difference. For tapping or chiseling this hammer does it all.

I saw reviews saying the handle was long etc but it’s actually about the same as a western style claw hammer, their faces are about the same but visually appears off balance to some of us because there’s not as much steel and has a thin handle. Feels great in the hand, I’ll definitely be using this a lot more than my 12 or 16 oz hammers. I would only recommend oiling the handle and flattening the one face as needed.

This hammer has a convex side and a flat side, ideal for setting up your bench chisels. The weight and balance are comfortable. Using the convex side to round the wood at the end of your chisels avoids tearing the fibers and increases the life of your chisels. Also, unlike a general multi-use hammer that has knicks and dings in it, I chose to set this one aside to ensure a clear head for years to come.

Good for control, small spaces, wood nails or plugs, or tapping pieces together.

Like most Japanese tools if you are unfamiliar ,it requires work . The head will have to be seated properly and the metal wedge driven in . Only takes five minutes . It's a great little hammer . Flat on one side of the head and convex or belled on the other . The belled end is to strike small nails without bruising the wood .
