A swordsmith will teach you the techniques of Japanese sword making and spend a whole day making a short sword with a blade length of less than 30 cm. During the experience, charcoal cutting, tamaheshi, tsutsubokashi, forging, unbending, fire making, soil placement, quenching, and blacksmith sharpening will be performed. The sword will then be registered and sharpened at a later date, and will be shipped to your home along with a registration certificate. If you select an option, you can also choose a Japanese sword such as a wakizashi (large) (small), katana, or tachi. Registration, packaging, and shipping fees are all included in the price. *Due to the Firearms and Swords Possession Control Act, the swordsmith will engrave the swordsmith's name on the sword. It is possible to engrave the participant's name as well. In addition, registration and sharpening are required, so it will take 6 to 9 months to deliver the sword. *The address, name, and phone number are required for the owner's details for the registration review and for shipping the finished product. If they are different from those registered with Activity Japan, please be sure to contact us here. If there is no contact, we will register and ship the sword as is. *If shipping overseas, please check for yourself whether the country can receive Japanese swords. In addition, export procedures, packaging fees, and shipping fees will be required separately. The amount varies depending on the country, so please contact us in advance. Payment will be made in cash on the day. *Damaged or scratched acrylic cases cannot be repaired, so please handle them carefully.
Anyone can own it if you keep it with the registration certificat.(only in Japan)If you receive it overseas,you are obliged to return the registration card when exporting, so we cannot ship it with the registration card.
A transparent acrylic case and sword rack will be presented so that you can appreciate the Japanese sword you made yourself at any time.
If you order habaki or shirasaya, please add them as an option. *Acrylic case is not included in this case.

Other notifications | Accompanying visitors are free. In that case, please let us know if there will be visitors and the number of visitors at the time of reservation. (Visitors are encouraged to wear clothing that they don't mind getting dirty.) The price is for one sword, so even if several people make it, the price will be for one sword. Since charcoal powder will fly around, it is best to cover your face and hair with a towel, hand towel, or mask. Also, if you have long hair, there is a risk of it burning, so please take precautions such as tying it back. |
