I am a 5' 4" tall women, I don't have particularly big hands (not tiny either), would the 101 or 103 be better suited for someone like myself?

The 103 is comparable in size to the Felco F-2, and has a similar hand feel. The 101 is just a little smaller, and the blades are marginally smaller than the 103, but there is little difference in the actual cutting capacity between the two. I purchased both, used both and liked each of them. If I am working long periods on material that is not at the upper limits of hand pruning, I prefer the 101 for the slightly smaller size and improved ergonomics. I am kind of a shrimp at 5'-6", but my hands are not small. I gifted my 101 to my 5'3" daughter and she loves it. Good tools, either one.

where are these Okatsune 103s made?

It is made in Japan. However, sellers who sell fake products are constantly appearing. If you see an item for less than 30$, be sure to check the seller's information. If it is a Japanese seller with a good reputation, there is no problem, but if it is not, be careful.

The 103 (medium) is 20mm larger than the 101 (small) bypass pruner, is that just in the handle, or is the cutting blade bigger too?

The 101 blade set is slightly smaller than the 103, but the difference is slight, and at the operational level in the field, you probably won't find many cuts that only the 101 cannot make/103 will make. It is more the ergonomics of the user's hand that will determine the better performance of Small vs. Medium tool. If I was working on 1/2" cuts all day long, I would prefer the small tool, and I have strong hands. Buy both; because someone will steal one of them.

What oil is recommended for keeping this pruner in top shape?

i use camellia oil. Works great.
