(Some of the motoi chisels are also similar to the konobu, but the recent chisels seem to be made by Niigata blacksmiths).\u003cbr\u003eI asked Mr. Tsuchida Noboru about Koun. Mr. tsuchida told me that the Koun(光雲) brand is a professional carving tool shop with good reviews in Asakusa, Tokyo. The name of the store is 光雲堂(Koun-dou, founded in 1894, it closed about 10 years ago). The shop provides high-quality tools to Japanese engraving master Takamura Kōun (高村 光雲, March 8, 1852 – October 10, 1934), who gave his name to the blacksmith as the name of his shop. As for why Koun brand chisels look very similar to Konobu, Mr. Tsuchida told me that many Konobu apprentices provide chisels to Koun store.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"TENMOKU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46784702775534,"sku":null,"price":15000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/0162\/5326\/files\/DSF9265_a75b1710-0b05-4253-a3bf-cc5b32e6fe60.jpg?v=1753197030","url":"https:\/\/tenmoku0701.myshopify.com\/zh\/products\/uchimaru-nomi-japanese-shallow-u-gouge-chisel-by-koun-36mm","provider":"TENMOKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
