NT Cutter Cutter precision

The key to successful artwork is to work with the right tools. If there was a design knife that could make the art of Kiri-e paper cutting easier and more enjoyable, then artists could concentrate more on their creativity and work stress-free. After all, Kiri-e requires patience and great attention to detail. Fortunately, NT has the perfect tool for this. Kiri-e is the Japanese art of paper cutting and is also known as kirigami. The word "kiri" means to cut and "e" means image. Kiri-e is an ancient art that came to Japan from China around 1400 years ago. It was originally used for gifts to temples and to decorate houses. Today it is a popular art form practiced in Japan and abroad. Kiri-e artworks are usually made from thin, white paper. The artists use a sharp knife or scissors to cut out complex images from the paper. The motifs are very diverse and range from traditional Japanese topics such as flowers and landscapes to modern motifs. It is a challenging and fascinating art form that requires a great deal of skill and patience. Artists must have a good eye for detail and be able to make precise cuts. The Kiri-e precision cutter is ideal for this delicate work, as the center of gravity is shifted towards the blade, ensuring lightness and stability and making the work easier. The slim and lightweight design ensures better control and precision. The thin shaft with a diameter of only 6 mm makes detail work easy and allows tighter turns when cutting, which enables finer cutting work. Plus, there are fewer blind spots where you'll want to cut than with a 9 mm diameter shaft. Designed for Kiri-e artists and those who practice Kiri-e as a hobby. Also useful for modellers.
