+Ymus Anon Yes and No, This exact method?, no, But one that is exactly the same in terms of what it makes and the physics behind it?, Yes, they've been around since iron has been smelted. You'll want to look for bloomery smelting.
There r many videos of procedures of making katana.. but yes u have to goto japan because the iron which they use to make this tamahagane is only found in a very small region in japan.
No captions or translation.
Still love it.
Beautiful art work. Team work. And craftsmanship.

I have some tamahagane from NBTHK back when he was in charge. They call the smelter a "Dragon" and the steel "Dragon's Egg".
Amazing process!!!
This intro is legendary!🔥
The beauty of the Katana is how it’s made.
Thousands of years of knowledge and experience for a lump of bloom steel, what an amazing world we live in.
To be fair, it was a 5th century furnace. Just a demonstration of historical smelting technology.
Tamahagane.Probably the coolest sounding japanese word out there.👍😎

Hmm how many katanas can that make
It's a marvellous japan prodigy procedure. Art of metallurgy
Huge amount of labour and technique to create a single bloom.
shades2 i think quality should never be compromised, no matter how much effort it involves.
Iron sand is quite a finnicky material to work with
It’s a massive bloom compared to the small lump most other bloomeries produce
These are master Alchemists.
It'd be too much work to screen shot every section and Google translate it
Is it harder to find iron ore in Japan?
Difficult.
Ironmaking using iron sand developed because of the difficulty of finding iron ore.
@@kei.suzuki was or is regular iron ore better than iron from sand? Thank y/ Domo Arigato

Much fun to watch, but a bit difficult for us uneducated Americans to follow when it's all in Nihongo. English subtitles would be a big help.
