A true Japanese katana is a work of art, and I have truly fallen in love with them . Thank you for the privilege of watching you work .

A beautiful and ancient tradition that is not seen around the world. Complete respect to these masters of their art. I have owned a few of these treasures. And very proudly.

While in Japan (former marine) a friend invited us to his grandfathers home. There his grandfather had his samurai grandfathers sword. Not sure how many generations it had been passed down but a lot. Anyway his grandfather asked if we would like to see as hold the sword. We sat on our feet/ on our knees and they preyed and preyed for me and then after 5-8 minutes his grandfather picked up the sword said something and waited. Then he handed the sword to my friend and then to me. It was amazing. Not only is it a work of art it’s living proof of the soul or a samurai. It’s amazing. I don’t know how to explain it.

With videos like this, now people all over the world come to know real way to make katana and Japanese culture, which makes me happy as Japanese.

[peterputnam]

Absolutely amazingly beautiful. The Japanese katana is a true work of art.

There are quite a few collectors around the world that own Japanese swords (Nihonto) which is so great but we should all own not only antique swords but also a shinsakuto to help keep the traditions alive.
I am now getting my second shinsakuto.
Thank you for for your amazing work .
Nihonto is the greatest creation man has ever made in my opinion

[Lannistir]

that quench... you can really see how the katana gets its bend the real way. (and yes what was painted on is crucial for it to even happen). truly great

[indracaponious]

The amount of appreciation I have for Japanese culture can't be measured.

[danteredgrave]

Watching a Katana being made is relaxing to me and such a pleasure to watch. If I could physically be there to watch them make it I would, wouldn't even care how much time it takes. Thank you for letting watch you guys make this beautiful piece of art.

[josequintana]

Thank you for sharing this video with the world. It is amazing to watch a master at his craft and to build a katana from scratch. Hopefully more young Japanese people will follow in his footsteps to keep the tradition going.

[jonlava]

So much tradition and craftsmanship goes into making your beautiful blade. Truly amazing.

[Alan-in-Bama]

Your work is more than just a craft, it’s an art form !
Beautiful sword !

[jeffreymiller]

The labor of love going into each hammer strike...MUCH RESPECT from a fellow bladesmith.

[karascrow]

Japan seems like such an amazing place to live. Not just visit. I definitely envy the lifestyles they have there. The experiences that we don’t get in the US. I’d love to have grown up around this kind of stuff.

大昔からこうやって刀は作られてきたんだな～
厳かで神聖な感じがする日本の伝統。
ずっと引き継がれるといいですね。

[IAmBrooklyn]

Your art is absolutely beautiful! I can almost see the katana smiling when complete. Thank you.

[fiju]

I admire you for how much patience and passion you have, and you also cultivate accuracy in what you do. I would like to visit your wonderful country in the future

[TX_Bluesman]

Thank you for sharing true craftmanship and keeping Bushido alive. Some American's still admire Japanese traditions. Arigato!

[russellborders]

Truly magnificent work this is what you call true art and much respect for keeping old traditions alive we should all be doing that instead of catering do the modern ways of the world today the Japanese are truly a amazing people
