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.

This is a creative experience unique to Menard Aoyama Resort, which has a full-fledged hole kiln "Nunobiki Kiln". Unlike the hand-kneading experience, the work you make is baked in the hole kiln "Nunobiki kiln". Using firewood, it is baked overnight for about 5 days without extinguishing the fire. The work you make is covered with ashes in the kiln, and the ashes melt at a high temperature of up to 1,300 degrees Celsius and settle in the work, resulting in a mysterious color. It features a unique color that cannot be expressed in an electric kiln or a gas kiln. * The content of the experience and the work you make are the same as in the hand-kneading class. ★ Authentic pottery experience! You will be asked to make one piece from a cup or plate with 1 kg of soil. ★ There are 12 types of glaze! You can choose your favorite color. ★ In the experience, you will use a hand-cranked potter's wheel. ★ Nov. mid-Dec. works that get sashimi in late, the second coming Year Jan. will be delivered. ★ The work you make will be sent by shipping fee in early Jan.
