This is list of tool Japanese gardeners in Japan make himself.

2)
Tripod ladder 6 feet to 12 feet
3)
trowel for stone work, made with bamboo or 12 gage steel wire or
3/16th inch steel rod. Store don't sell this tool so we have to make ourself.
4) knee boad
work on concreat and weeding on moss
5) wood ply bar
For stone /boulder work and shifing tree with B&B (ball and burlaped)
6) bamboo bascket
This is not tool but to shape tree, often gardeners and nursery man make basket at job site guid branchs and to shape branchs.

7) Wood sleigh
To move/tansport large boulder and tree at job site.
It is no wonder why to be mature Japanese gardener take 10 to 15 years.

Hi
I cheked English/Japanese dictionary for word of rogue and found out it has many meanings. I am not for sure that which one I fit to ? :D
We have some words confuse you too. such as "hana" = flower, nose, beging. hashi= chop stick, bridge, corner. kame= vase , turtle, :roll:
I took as complement. Thanks
