  • An older feature video showcasing the Shimane Tatara in Japan. Abe Sensei still led things back then and Kihara is featured as his protege.
    The video is great because it shows just how much work is involved to actually produce the base material to any Japanese sword and helps provide insight into why its so revered.

    I have some tamahagane from NBTHK back when he was in charge. They call the smelter a "Dragon" and the steel "Dragon's Egg".

    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.

    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.

    Huge amount of labour and technique to create a single bloom.

    hi can i learn these traditional methods somewhere in europe, or do i have to go to Japan?
    Thank you.

      +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.

      Difficult.
      Ironmaking using iron sand developed because of the difficulty of finding iron ore.
