日本刀の製作に興味があり数年前から体験できるところを探していましたが、コロナ禍でなかなか機会がありませんでした。 やっと規制緩和になったことから本格的に探して、刀匠正也さんで体験をさせていただくことになりました。 当日は雨になり、送り迎えをしていただけて本当に助かりました。 日本刀作りに関する知識はありましたが、やはり実際に説明を受けながら自分で工程を進めていく中で体験しないとわからないことがたくさんありました。繰り返しの作業や細かな細工(銘切りや焼き入れ、やすりがけや研ぎなど)への集中が求められ、根気とセンスが必要だと感じました。 体験前は一日の作業は長いと思っていましたが、あっという間に過ぎてしまいました。 とても丁寧にご指導いただき、ありがとうございました。
