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.
Of course, this would be very, very good, beyond my imagination, because I really also want to visit Japan to see the katana sword, the masterpiece, and the soul of the samurai.❤😊
No muestra todo el proceso.Como se obtiene el acero,como se hace el hamon del todo,como se afila,etc.Secretos del Sensei,por supuesto.Hay que aceptarlo,y conformarse.
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
@@danielhampson Actually, not quite right, the two types of metal is to give the edge a hardness to retain sharpness and a core that is soft metal that allows flexibility to prevent breakage. The curve actually comes from the application of clay and heating, hence, the thicker application of clay on the spine or Tang. I learnt all this from UA-cam too. :D
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.
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
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.
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.
I personally own two old katanas, one from 17th century, one from late 18th/early 19th (they were examined and dated by anthropologist specializing in Japanese antiquity at the University of Nevada Reno). I'm extremely privileged to have acquired these, and they're more amazing in person than any video could ever do justice, all katana are. The craftsmanship and history of these blades is so fascinating (I mean Japanese swords in general, not just mine specifically)
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
It's very nice to see the development of a katana. In my opinion, it's not just the simple work, it's also a high degree of spirituality that comes into play. Because I have been practicing Schotokan Karate since my youth, now 4 Dan, I have a connection to Japan. I had Sensai Hideo Otschi as a teacher, who also conveyed a lot of the Japanese mentality. I've had a Japanese katana for many years, not as high quality as yours, but still very good. And a blade like that is something to be treasured. Thank you for letting me watch you make it.
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
What fascinates us is not the sword they make. What impresses me personally is the level of perfection that this sword has reached over the centuries. Just think, achieving perfection in a period far removed from the age of science is truly admirable.
As a part-time toolmaker, I'm impressed. I make chisels out of rebar everyday and I also use most of these smithing techniques. Brine is my preferred quenchant.
this is real art!!! i am a brazilian and one of my hobbies is watching katana sword craftmanship videos!! i love katana swords, specially those with wooden sheath and hilt. one day, i´m gonna have one of those... congratulations for keeping such beautiful art alive!!! my humble respect to those men!!!!!
Even the way it was packaged was impressive indeed.. if I owned a sword made by these men.. knowing the craftsmanship and ingenuity behind making it alone would be something awesome. My katanas are not worth near what this one is. I hope these kinds of ironsmiths live on throughout.
Please never let this die. Keep the tradition. I am not Japanese, I’m from the US and may know nothing of sword making but one day I hope to. This is art, this is something that I hope lives in forever
@@jingzhao9841 Yes, it is two different types of clay that insulate the steel differently so that the edge cools faster while the spine cools slower. The slower the steel cools the more carbon escapes from the steel to soften and make it more flexible. The edge cools quickly becoming harder, and also more brittle, but also causing it to warp back creating the bend in the blade.
@10:08 modern blacksmiths cut them off and shape the blade tip after, the traditional method of shaping it with just a freehand hammer is so impressive
Watching the true works that go into these Katanas, you see why that last for centuries and why they never lose their sharpness. This is the one thing I have to say is definitely worth the money they ask for them !
truly magnificent!! human hands giving birth to a sword with a soul of its own, SUBARASHI!! the moment when they last soaked the katana in the water it seemed like it was finally born, coming off its metal cocoon!! 🤩 wish i could see the whole process with my own eyes, it would be fantastic 😍
Admiración y respeto absolutos por su maravillosa cultura y tradición, estoy facinado por este arte desde hace muchos años, sueño con visitar un taller en su país, Japón algún dia. Les agradezco enormemente por compartir este arte y su cultura con todos nosotros. Les envío un cordial saludo desde Buenos Aires Argentina.
I'd love to backpack to Japan to learn how to use the sword by them, while having one special made for me. That could be expensive. That would be an experience like the movies right ?
I visited Japan on 2 occasions. I am blown away by their attention to detail with everything. As far as im concerned, the Japanese are the finest craftsmen in the world.
What a beautiful country with centuries of continuity. Would be a tragedy for this culture to disappear, and for their shores to be opened up to millions without any ties to the country. Protect Japan.

I am from India.
I want to original hand made katana
How much.. im fron manila

How can I buy one of these swords from you in Japan?
@Japanesefoodcraftsman, At the shrine, What is inside the white marbled box?
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 .
why not pick up knife making? you can get started for something like 50 bucks total
@ThePrimebeef I would love to , but my other hobbies already take up most of my time , maybe in the future for sure .
Could NOT agree more. I recently make a chef knife with a hamon. Knowing that level of work creates a nee level of appreciation.
We had a ninja at our school.

What a story, lets goooo!
Thats good story, absolutly like
It’s just a blade.
If it was his grandfather's sword then I'd imagine it had been passed down precisely two generations.

It's beautiful how the internet lets a Japanese,Spanish and English speaker unite like this
👍🏿👍🏿

It's the two different types of metal that create the curve. The claying creates the hamon.

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.

Live? Fuck no. Visit? Hell yea
The labor of love going into each hammer strike...MUCH RESPECT from a fellow bladesmith.
So much tradition and craftsmanship goes into making your beautiful blade. Truly amazing.

You know nothing of Japanese culture clearly. You couldn’t be more wrong buddy.
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
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。
Your work is more than just a craft, it’s an art form !
Beautiful sword !

一個一個に解説付きで分かりやすいし勉強になる
Your art is absolutely beautiful! I can almost see the katana smiling when complete. Thank you.
They made a Katana from many centuries. Traditional Japanese culture is good thing. Respect!
People who made such masterpieces sure deserve respect😊
I have a lot of respect for people and artists/ blacksmiths from Japan, for they are great people
I didn't know that so much work goes into making a sword like this, fascinating and awesome. To think thousands of these were made to fight wars.
To me the crafting process is just as beautiful as the final product.
The beauty of the traditional handmade, I love it thank you for showing us your art
what an honour to see how masters create this legendary sword. thank you
As a part-time toolmaker, I'm impressed. I make chisels out of rebar everyday and I also use most of these smithing techniques.
Brine is my preferred quenchant.
13:02 wow! You can actually see the blade form its iconic bend
Yeah, the sword does indeed bend in real time and it can be seen very clearly.
Hello from Russia..Kuril Island, Shikotan.I Russian, but Japan in my heart. Peace to peace.
That's a beautiful process making a katana. 😮
An absolute work of are created by true craftsmen that still uphold traditional processes. Great video.
日本の伝統工芸作品、刀凄い。手間暇手塩にかけて、作ってる姿見ると、凄いです。一回、高松の刀の展示会行きました。感動しました、刃紋や鞘も
Such patience and skill. Was truly amazing to watch such a masterful craft.
this is real art!!! i am a brazilian and one of my hobbies is watching katana sword craftmanship videos!! i love katana swords, specially those with wooden sheath and hilt. one day, i´m gonna have one of those...
congratulations for keeping such beautiful art alive!!! my humble respect to those men!!!!!
Forged With True Japanese Steel. What A Thing Of Beauty
Even the way it was packaged was impressive indeed.. if I owned a sword made by these men.. knowing the craftsmanship and ingenuity behind making it alone would be something awesome. My katanas are not worth near what this one is. I hope these kinds of ironsmiths live on throughout.

Ngl, i admire the work ethics from japan. Im from russia, we got high work ethics too but japanese got some of the highest convictions for their craft
Gas station with bomba
Absolutely beautiful process and product.
I love the craftsmanship.
12:59 刀の反りって一旦逆に反って戻って反るんだ‼️初めて見たけどすげぇww
I know, it's cool how metal expands and contracts as it changes temperature
也许刀刃和刀脊覆盖的是两种不同的土？视频里没有解释如何出现这种弯曲的，很遗憾。

本物の日本の刀鍛冶の動画をもっともっと世界に広げてほしいなあ
外国人の造る日本刀っぽいKatanaの動画がめちゃくちゃ再生数あって、アメージング！アメージング！の連呼だもんなあ
この動画を観てくれた外国人の方々は日本刀とKatanaの違いを理解してくれてるみたいで嬉しい
13:00 that bends and crackles are ethereal. It’s like the katana finally injected with a soul and bends upwards to life
I watched a documentary if I remember right on PBS years ago. It made a big impact on me. I hope this tradition and craftsmanship is not lost.
@10:08 modern blacksmiths cut them off and shape the blade tip after, the traditional method of shaping it with just a freehand hammer is so impressive
Came to see how the Pattern was done and learned a whole bunch more. Great skills.
What a rare treat to watch and to see.
Watching the true works that go into these Katanas, you see why that last for centuries and why they never lose their sharpness. This is the one thing I have to say is definitely worth the money they ask for them !
Katanas totally get dull and need to be sharpened. They aren’t magic, you know.
Thats a very romanticized way to look at a blade.
こういうの見ると欲しくなっちゃうよね。
Amazing , i just realized why they are high in price. Alot of hard work and precision put into creating one. 👏🏼
日本の誇りです。
Thanks
!!! Thank you so much!!!
truly magnificent!! human hands giving birth to a sword with a soul of its own, SUBARASHI!! the moment when they last soaked the katana in the water it seemed like it was finally born, coming off its metal cocoon!! 🤩 wish i could see the whole process with my own eyes, it would be fantastic 😍
I’m so glad I have access to stuff like this online… I’d most likely never get to see this being done by someone of his expertise, would like to learn
Pretty cool. Crazy how hard things were back then compared to now.
It's all about love that's put into each sword.
Sword's only means war ☠️⚠️🪖
A priceless piece of cultural art.
Saya dari indonesia..sangat tertarik dengan keindahan proses pembuatan katana
Mau bunuh orang? 😂
This is really amazing to watch. This is my dream hobby I one day hope to do before I die. Amazing craft gentlemen.
Impressionante. Do início ao fim é possível ver a diferença de um trabalho profissional e um amador. Amazing
私は日本製の刀が欲しいです。工場で作られたものではなく、手作りです。私は手仕事が好きです。フィリピン出身です。
I truly pray that aincent tradition, art, and skill of forging katana’s not only never dies but thrives. 🔥
刀鍛冶の技術は一度滅びました
技術は継続していません
現代の刀鍛冶は試行錯誤しながら古代の技術を復活させた物であり、未だに古代の日本刀を超える物を作り出す事は不可能なのです...
「本物の日本刀」は日本各地の博物館に展示されていますが、その迫力は現代に作られる日本刀とは全くの別物です
Throughout human history, nothing has been made as beautiful as the katana
昔の人ってどうやってこの工程思いついたんだろうな～
泥かけたり藁つけたり、均等にしたのを割ってまた一塊にしたり
凄いな～
温度計もない時代に鉄の色を見て温度が分かる職人、鉄の融点は１５００℃は現代科学の温度計で測ったもの。昔、TV番組で日本刀を固定しておいて拳銃で撃った見事に弾丸が真二つになった。その番組では頭に来たのかマグナム銃を取り出してきた。さすがにマグナムの銃数発で刀は欠けてしまった。個人的に日本製の鋼の牛刀を４０年使っているが、研いで使ってきたので当初より短くなってしまったが、未だに切れ味は最高で最近購入した物よりも重さも刃の厚みもしっかりしている。昔の物は丁寧に作られている。
いいですね。刀は、ビシッとキランとする光が好きですなぁ。
鬼刃の刀鍛冶職人は、切磋琢磨している所が惹き込まれました

完成品が美し過ぎる 昔の人は、これ独学で考えたって思ったら、凄いわって思った
Art work, exclusively process and unique product.👍
Beautiful workmanship ,you are all true craftsman.
❤ wow respect from The Netherlands 😊 always found this fascinating to learn
Imagine how many swordsmith there were and how much effort they've put in war time about centuries ago in Japan.
I just felt so overwhelmed when the old smithy said that they would fold and forge for JUST 15-20 TIMES!
i'm enjoying watching a master at work..❤
I'd love to backpack to Japan to learn how to use the sword by them, while having one special made for me. That could be expensive. That would be an experience like the movies right ?

I miss when my country used to preserve and love our Heritage. It is now, not so much.
An amazing and beautiful heritage and process.
נהדר! תודה רבה! אושר לך, בהצלחה, השראה והצלחה יצירתית!💪💪
Хочу выразить благодарность и почтение мастеру, тому кто воплощает искусство и традиции. Поклон.
It was fascinating to observe the process. Thank you very much for sharing and best wishes to you.
今は機械とか便利な道具が出来たことで時間の手間が省けてたりとかあるけど、昔からのやり方はそこの作業も人の手を加えて丹念にやるからこそ作った時の出来栄えも質もいいんだろうなぁ
Interesting to watch. In western blacksmithing the apprentice runs the bellows.
Extreme discipline to make this steel.
One of the best videos i have ever seen......you are real masters!.....Greetings from Vienna!
Japan has the most beautiful culture. Even today, nobody makes a better blade than the Japanese.
I was always wondering what and why they do to the steel.
Thank you.
Un grand respect a ses hommes qui perdure leur traditions dans le temps , je suis admiratif du travail en tant que fan du katana traditionnel
Beautiful work of art .. Thank You for sharing .. Cheers :)
