DurationOver 6 hours on the day
You will spend a whole day making a small scale attached to the Japanese sword. The material is the same as the Japanese sword, and the world's highest grade iron (tamahagane) is used. You can make a soil holder by yourself and insert a blade crest. Attach the blade, cut your name on it, make a scabbard, and sharpen it to complete it. Only at our studio can you experience making a small pattern and sharpening it. You will learn how to make a Japanese sword while working, and you will not know until you experience the work of striking iron to change its shape and create ripples, so I think it will be a great learning experience. We will proceed according to the ability of the person who will experience it, so there is no need to worry about minors and women. Photos and videos can be taken during production! The fee will be the experience fee for one Kozuka. Two or more people can make one. In that case, please let us know when you make a reservation. If you make a reservation for two or more, it will take about an additional hour for each one after the second one. Please join us with plenty of time before the end time. It is also possible to advance the start time, so please contact us.
★We have someone here who can explain things in English, so you don't need an interpreter.
You can experience how a lump of iron becomes one work. The sheath is made of the same material as the Japanese sword sheath, and the whetstone is also the same.
For those who apply for an additional Japanese sword making tour at the same time, the tour fee is 25,000 yen → half price of 12500 yen !!
We offer a pick-up service from JR Mino-Ota Station. Pick-up time is 8:45, but you can change it to your desired time. Please contact us by the day before.

We do not guarantee any damage or injury to your belongings or clothes while participating in the experience. Also, although the experience place will be indoors, it will not be a closed space because it uses fire. Take proper measures to prevent heat stroke in the summer and cold in the winter. |

Plan attractions
Straight blade pattern like Yoshimitsu If all goes well, you can make such a beautiful straight blade pattern. Recommended for sword girls who like Yoshimitsu Awataguchi. (The paulownia box fee will be charged separately.)
Time schedule
Explanation-Making fire (overall shaping) I will explain the manufacturing process of Japanese swords while looking at a sample. After that, the iron is heated and beaten to give it an overall shape.
File and place in the soil Use a file to remove the unevenness of the beaten iron, and place it on the ground to determine the shape of the blade pattern. The difference in the thickness of the soil creates a blade pattern.
Quenching-file The heated iron is cooled rapidly and a blade pattern is added. I will file the whole thing.
Inscription You will have to carve your name yourself.
Sharpening In the same process as polishing a Japanese sword, it is sharpened using several types of whetstones.
Making a sheath Make a white scabbard that fits perfectly with a knife, using a saw or chisel. We use the same material used for the white sheath of Japanese swords.
Finish I will finish it using a fine whetstone.
