The forging experience was a first for me and it was well worth the money, time and journey!
It's in a beautiful location worth a visit and with Nakanishi Sensei teaching us about the art of forging with such a passion, it became a spiritual experience.
From understanding the role light plays in forging, the techniques for hammering the steel to the desired shape, and the clay art to create your unique hamon, it was all amazing!

初めて刀が出来上がるまでの工程を知ることができました。実際に鉄を打つところから体験してみると本当に大変だということがわかりました。
丁寧に説明していただきわかりやすかったです。完成した小刀は綺麗で大事に飾っておきます。ありがとうございました。

We had a great experience working in the forge under the guidance of the swordsmith and made our own knife with the same technique as when making a Katana. Our translator was very nice and attentive.

1. swordsmith explained everything about katanas and then we made two ourselves. We had to heat the fire until the embers struck sparks. We worked the shape. We even crunched it ourselves in water. Finally he engraved the knife. We 4 made two knives, to take home in a beautiful box.
easiest way to get to the hidden place is by cab and Google Maps: Masahiro sword smith
