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.

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.

Iron is a human invention. People have walked with iron, as it is said, "Whoever controls iron controls the world." A Japanese sword cannot be made good unless it is made of iron using the traditional ironmaking method. With this plan, you can experience making iron from iron sand using the traditional iron-making method. Repeat the work of cutting charcoal into small pieces and adding iron sand to determine the "steel" part from the finished lump "kera". You can take the finished product home with you. ★We have someone here who can explain things in English, so you don't need an interpreter.

Japanese swords are iron works of art. By listening to the explanation of the production process of the works of art that have been handed down from ancient times, you will be able to understand the highlights of swords and the points of appreciation. In addition, you can observe the training process (stretching, bending, and attaching steel), which is one of the processes of making Japanese swords. Please take a picture of the place where the spark sparks. The moment the spark scatters is an instant. Sometimes it is difficult to show the process again, so please do not miss it. We recommend the video. In addition, you can also experience the Ozuchi, which strikes iron. We also accept questions such as why Japanese swords are so hard and strong, and why there is a difference in price! If you apply for the "Knife making experience", you can apply at the same time for half price. Please apply from the option of "Knife making experience".
