刀鍛冶 正也

It is a swordsmith's workshop of Japanese sword swordsmith. Here you can experience the blacksmithing of small knives and mini Japanese swords (less than 15 cm). Reservations are required and can be made via the official web page, phone or Activity Japan. The fee is 105,000 yen for a small sword and 135,000 yen for a mini Japanese sword (advanced course). The mini Japanese sword also includes the shirasaya. You can take your work home with you on the day of the event. Personally, I highly recommend the advanced course where you can make mini Japanese swords. The reason I recommend it is that the form of the work is the Japanese sword itself, which is different from the small sword. The process of making is also different, and those who know the coolness of Japanese swords through the media will be more satisfied with the finished product. Although it is a manufacturing process, you can experience a whole process of heating and processing rod-shaped materials, surface processing, inscription, sharpening, and making shirasaya. Although it is the content of the experience, it is okay even for the first time because it is a form to see the work of the swordsmith and experience some work. In the experience, it is possible for the swordsmith to teach you the materials, tools, history, features, appreciation methods, maintenance methods, etc. related to the person. The swordsmith is very kind and polite, so you can experience it with confidence.
