Custom Teishin Gallery

Over the years I have made hundreds of teishin for masters and beginners alike.  I have burnt my fingers on hot metal and breathed in gold dust as they took shape. Each tool has a uniqueness that emerges as the metal is hammered, filed, and polished into form, but it is not until the practitioner touches the life of another that the teishin's true spirit is revealed.

​

As one of the oldest teishin makers in the United States, I have had the honor of forging teishin, gua sha tools, and shonishin tools for some fantastic practitioners around the world. I hope you enjoy this sampling of custom handcrafted tools.
