Jake Hobson
Jake Hobson is the founder of Niwaki, the Japanese garden tool brand known for bringing the tools and traditions of Japanese gardening to a wider audience. After studying sculpture at the Slade School of Fine Art in London, Jake first travelled to Japan during cherry blossom season and soon developed a fascination with trees and gardens. He later spent time working at a plant nursery in rural Osaka, where he learned Japanese pruning and gardening techniques first-hand. Returning to the UK with his wife Keiko, he drew on that experience to establish Niwaki.
