Indeed their trowels are worlds apart from our standard trowels we have available in our hardwares here in Cape Town. Similarly once you have used a japanese saw, which has a pull action, you will never want to use another kind again. Our tools seem so primitive in comparison. In Japan they take 3 years to qulaify as a professional plasterer of Shikwui and other earth based plasters!
