- Discover the extraordinary craftsmanship of Tetsunosuke Miyano (1901-96), a master sawsmith from Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture. As a second-generation Japanese sawsmith, Miyano was among the few artisans who mastered the use of "tama-hagane," a refined steel from traditional Japanese tatara furnaces. Although tama-hagane steel became rare after the Meiji era due to the rise of imported steel, Miyano's dedication to this traditional material kept its legacy alive even after World War II. #MasterSawsmith #JapaneseSaw #WoodworkingTool

I also thank you for sharing this with us all. I would have liked to see the blacksmiths making the saws it is quite difficult to find certain information on japanese tools and how they are made. Especially saws some specialty nomi/chisels long handled farming hoe's nata/hatchet Ono/axes.
good point sir, Thanks for telling me!
What a wonderful video.
the AI generated english voice is very annoying. its too perfect. thats not a human. its a robot reading text.
even worse, the pronunciation of Japanese words is deeply flawed and distracting.
