Cohana’s Exquisite Brass Tools Set to Return

Cohana, a brand known for its premium handmade tools by KAWAGUCHI Co., Ltd., is once again bringing back the much-loved brass weights, also known as “bunchin.” Set to launch on November 25, 2025, these elegant tools promise to enhance your crafting experience while serving a practical purpose.

A Beautiful Blend of Function and Style

The new lineup includes two distinct sizes of brass weights, designed to cater to various sewing and crafting needs. The original brass bunchin weighs 360g, while a smaller 130g version, known as the brass “mame bunchin,” provides versatility for intricate work. These tools not only assist in precision during fabric cutting and marking but also serve as charming decorative items on your workspace.

The Features You’ll Love

360g Brass Bunchin - Priced at 3,900 yen (plus tax), this weight is ideal for securing larger patterns with thicker fabrics. The trusty weight ensures your templates stay in place so you can work accurately and efficiently. Featuring a button-shaped design, the brass bunchin doubles as a stylish pen stand when not in use. Its presence adds a luminous quality to your workspace.

130g Brass Mame Bunchin - At a price of 3,000 yen (plus tax), this compact weight is perfect for marking small pieces and handling curves without interruption. Its palm-sized cuteness prevents it from obstructing your crafting, providing accurate support for detailed work. Multiple weights can easily be stacked together, allowing for customizable use.

Cultivating Character over Time

One of the most enchanting aspects of brass as a material is its ability to age beautifully. As you use these tools, they develop a unique patina that deepens and enhances their charm over time. This personal evolution transforms each brass bunchin into a one-of-a-kind tool that reflects your journey in crafting, becoming an indispensable part of your creative process.

Versatile Pairing Options

Cohana’s brass tool can be elegantly stacked with their traditional Nambu iron weights (also around 360g). This thoughtful design allows you to experience both the warmth of brass and the rustic charm of iron, as you create a workspace that’s both efficient and visually stunning.

Personalized Holiday Gifts

Alongside the product launch, Cohana will also offer premium holiday gift wrapping services and the chance to receive the Cohana 2026 calendar. These additions aim to enhance not only your crafting experience but also your holiday season as you share the joy of high-quality tools with friends and family.
