@wabunkajapan: Step into the world of traditional Japanese bladesmithing on your Japan trip with master blacksmith Sukehira Hirata and furnace master Nodoka Hirata. At their workshop near Tokyo, you will learn the ancient craft of tatara sword making, using tamahagane steel—the same material used for samurai katana. This hands-on Japan travel experience lets you forge your own small katana, choosing from three handle styles and adding a personalized engraving. Once complete, your handcrafted blade will be finished and shipped to you. Want a unique Japanese souvenir? You can also opt to craft a bespoke kitchen knife instead. Book your experience through the link in our bio.
