NT Cutter Cutter precision

The key to a successful artwork is working with the right tools. If there were a design knife that could make the art of Kiri-e, the Japanese paper cutting technique, easier and more enjoyable, artists could focus more on their creativity and work stress-free. Kiri-e requires patience and a lot of love for detail. Fortunately, NT has the perfect tool for this. Kiri-e is the Japanese art of paper cutting, also known as kirigami. The word "kiri" means to cut, and "e" means picture. Kiri-e is an ancient art that came from China to Japan about 1400 years ago. Originally, it was used for gifts to temples and for decorating homes. Today, it is a popular art form practiced both in Japan and abroad. Kiri-e artworks are typically made from thin, white paper. Artists use a sharp knife or scissors to cut complex images out of the paper. The motifs are very diverse, ranging from traditional Japanese themes like flowers and landscapes to modern designs. It is a demanding and fascinating art form that requires a lot of skill and patience. Artists must have a good eye for detail and be able to make precise cuts. The KIRIE precision cutter is ideal for these delicate tasks, as its center of gravity is shifted towards the blade, providing ease and stability, which facilitates the work. The slim and lightweight design allows for better control and precision. The thin shaft, with a diameter of only 6 mm, makes detailed work a breeze and allows for tighter turns while cutting, enabling finer cutting tasks. Additionally, there are fewer blind spots where you want to cut compared to a shaft with a diameter of 9 mm. It is designed for Kiri-e artists and those who pursue Kiri-e as a hobby. Also useful for model builders.
