The authentic beauty of Japanese swords

The Sword Artist Masatada Kitagawa

Japanese swords have been treated with exclusive care since ancient times. The oldest sword, “Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi”, is a legendary Japanese sword and is enshrined as a one of three Imperial Regalia of Japan at the Atsuta Shrine in Nagoya city.
We are preparing a new experience, on which you will have an opportunity to meet authentic Japanese swords at a workshop of a swordsmith. The swords produced by a unique technique with a hammer own an incredible beauty, such as the unique curvature of a sword, beauty of the temper-line and brilliance of the blade material. It will blow your mind.

The experience is on sale in spring 2020. We will take you to a workshop of Masatada Kitagawa who had a training under Norihiro Miyairi, intangible cultural treasure (under Masamune Sumitani, a Living National Treasure). The studio is exclusively open to you. We look forward to seeing you soon.
