Japanese hand plane has to be one of the most satisfying tools to use...if you're into wood working, really worth trying one.

What's the difference between a regular hand plane and a Japanese one? They look quite similar to me?

I really enjoy the simplicity of the tool, it's just a great experience, you need to tap the plane or "kana" to get the blade into the right position, and I find the pulling rather than pushing is really satisfying. Maybe it's just different and I love it for that reason.

As others have said, I like the all wooden construction too.

I like western style hand planes too.
