A beautiful and ancient tradition that is not seen around the world. Complete respect to these masters of their art. I have owned a few of these treasures. And very proudly.

While in Japan (former marine) a friend invited us to his grandfathers home. There his grandfather had his samurai grandfathers sword. Not sure how many generations it had been passed down but a lot. Anyway his grandfather asked if we would like to see as hold the sword. We sat on our feet/ on our knees and they preyed and preyed for me and then after 5-8 minutes his grandfather picked up the sword said something and waited. Then he handed the sword to my friend and then to me. It was amazing. Not only is it a work of art it’s living proof of the soul or a samurai. It’s amazing. I don’t know how to explain it.
Of course, this would be very, very good, beyond my imagination, because I really also want to visit Japan to see the katana sword, the masterpiece, and the soul of the samurai.❤😊
Watching a Katana being made is relaxing to me and such a pleasure to watch. If I could physically be there to watch them make it I would, wouldn't even care how much time it takes. Thank you for letting watch you guys make this beautiful piece of art.
that quench... you can really see how the katana gets its bend the real way. (and yes what was painted on is crucial for it to even happen). truly great
@@danielhampson Actually, not quite right, the two types of metal is to give the edge a hardness to retain sharpness and a core that is soft metal that allows flexibility to prevent breakage. The curve actually comes from the application of clay and heating, hence, the thicker application of clay on the spine or Tang. I learnt all this from RUclips too. :D
@ when you quench in water it heats the water so fast that it creates an air layer of steam between the metal and the water and can cause some inconsistent cooling and you have to shake it about a little normally to force it to cool against the water. oil on the other hand doesnt do this. there are pros and cons to both but honestly im not really sure what the pros are of water other than cost. maybe faster cooling as one the water is 100C+ it wont get hotter, making it cool faster which will make it much harder (but more brittle). oil can get alot hotter but will also slow the cooling process. im not an expert though
There are quite a few collectors around the world that own Japanese swords (Nihonto) which is so great but we should all own not only antique swords but also a shinsakuto to help keep the traditions alive. I am now getting my second shinsakuto. Thank you for for your amazing work . Nihonto is the greatest creation man has ever made in my opinion
Thank you for sharing this video with the world. It is amazing to watch a master at his craft and to build a katana from scratch. Hopefully more young Japanese people will follow in his footsteps to keep the tradition going.
Such great spirit and beauty. Thank you for showing us the art. As a many year steel fabrication tradesman, it is clear to me how pure this steel is. The feeling is the sword is pleased to be honored with such tradition, care and skill.
Japan seems like such an amazing place to live. Not just visit. I definitely envy the lifestyles they have there. The experiences that we don’t get in the US. I’d love to have grown up around this kind of stuff.
It has a lot of issues. There’s a reason why so many guys are losing their minds for stress. The stuff we see here in RUclips is not the norm. The norm is 7-6 office jobs all day and weekends.
I admire you for how much patience and passion you have, and you also cultivate accuracy in what you do. I would like to visit your wonderful country in the future
I personally own two old katanas, one from 17th century, one from late 18th/early 19th (they were examined and dated by anthropologist specializing in Japanese antiquity at the University of Nevada Reno). I'm extremely privileged to have acquired these, and they're more amazing in person than any video could ever do justice, all katana are. The craftsmanship and history of these blades is so fascinating (I mean Japanese swords in general, not just mine specifically)
Truly magnificent work this is what you call true art and much respect for keeping old traditions alive we should all be doing that instead of catering do the modern ways of the world today the Japanese are truly a amazing people
Wow - Thank you for sharing your tradition, my soul is connected with the craftsman. This is a museum video, well made as the Katana. THANK these men whenever you can
What fascinates us is not the sword they make. What impresses me personally is the level of perfection that this sword has reached over the centuries. Just think, achieving perfection in a period far removed from the age of science is truly admirable.
As a part-time toolmaker, I'm impressed. I make chisels out of rebar everyday and I also use most of these smithing techniques. Brine is my preferred quenchant.
this is real art!!! i am a brazilian and one of my hobbies is watching katana sword craftmanship videos!! i love katana swords, specially those with wooden sheath and hilt. one day, i´m gonna have one of those... congratulations for keeping such beautiful art alive!!! my humble respect to those men!!!!!
Wow, I have never seen the quench from a side view like that... I had NO idea that the blade flexed and moved / bent down, then straightens again in this process. Every time I quench my own blades I make, I do so of course in a metal container you cannot see through, this is amazing and makes me want to set something clear up so I can see if this happens to ALL size blades. What a true work of art, and an honorable process!
Truly an amazing art..skill and tradition a a beautiful keep sake,that will forever live beyond eternity. At end of video i noticed how he was protecting it. Was this for a client..
Please never let this die. Keep the tradition. I am not Japanese, I’m from the US and may know nothing of sword making but one day I hope to. This is art, this is something that I hope lives in forever
It's very nice to see the development of a katana. In my opinion, it's not just the simple work, it's also a high degree of spirituality that comes into play. Because I have been practicing Schotokan Karate since my youth, now 4 Dan, I have a connection to Japan. I had Sensai Hideo Otschi as a teacher, who also conveyed a lot of the Japanese mentality. I've had a Japanese katana for many years, not as high quality as yours, but still very good. And a blade like that is something to be treasured. Thank you for letting me watch you make it.
Even the way it was packaged was impressive indeed.. if I owned a sword made by these men.. knowing the craftsmanship and ingenuity behind making it alone would be something awesome. My katanas are not worth near what this one is. I hope these kinds of ironsmiths live on throughout.
I visited Japan on 2 occasions. I am blown away by their attention to detail with everything. As far as im concerned, the Japanese are the finest craftsmen in the world.
Admiración y respeto absolutos por su maravillosa cultura y tradición, estoy facinado por este arte desde hace muchos años, sueño con visitar un taller en su país, Japón algún dia. Les agradezco enormemente por compartir este arte y su cultura con todos nosotros. Les envío un cordial saludo desde Buenos Aires Argentina.
truly magnificent!! human hands giving birth to a sword with a soul of its own, SUBARASHI!! the moment when they last soaked the katana in the water it seemed like it was finally born, coming off its metal cocoon!! 🤩 wish i could see the whole process with my own eyes, it would be fantastic 😍
@@jingzhao9841 Yes, it is two different types of clay that insulate the steel differently so that the edge cools faster while the spine cools slower. The slower the steel cools the more carbon escapes from the steel to soften and make it more flexible. The edge cools quickly becoming harder, and also more brittle, but also causing it to warp back creating the bend in the blade.
Every sword has its own soul, i believe that. How i wish i could have one not for slaying but for house protection..I really admire the Japanese tradition about Katana..❤❤🇵🇭❤️
...those stones...,. (I recently found corundum as a sharpening stone, and so I have to say thank you for the post. Absolutely appreciated.) there were so many questions that went through my head that I hopefully missed a respectable amount. Absolutely beautiful.
Actually, that might be a good thing. This is trying to show an entire process in the span of under 18 min. They did a great job from what I know but that would have been quite the accomplishment.
Sir you are really blessed ! Sword making is not just an art but a blessing, especially a katana ! I pray to the universal energies to always bless you with their presence and protect you always ! With due respect sir, if you prepare this for a warrior from India who loves katana, how much will it cost ? 🙏
Thank you for this video, it was very informative even though I don't speak Japanese and the automatic subtitling is not working, I still learned so much to think about for my own blacksmithing.
Não há dúvidas! A cultura japonesa é a mais linda do mundo e essas espadas então, são demais lindas mesmo, feito pelas mãos de profissionais que seguem a risca a tradição.

I want to original hand made katana
How much.. im fron manila

How can I buy one of these swords from you in Japan?
@Japanesefoodcraftsman, At the shrine, What is inside the white marbled box?
A true Japanese katana is a work of art , and I have truly fallen in love with them . Thank you for the privilege of watching you work .
why not pick up knife making? you can get started for something like 50 bucks total
@ThePrimebeef I would love to , but my other hobbies already take up most of my time , maybe in the future for sure .
Could NOT agree more. I recently make a chef knife with a hamon. Knowing that level of work creates a nee level of appreciation.
We had a ninja at our school.
@@jeffreymiller9706 nice 👌

It's beautiful how the internet lets a Japanese,Spanish and English speaker unite like this
👍🏿👍🏿
しかもわかりやすい。「これをかけておくと変な溶け方しないんですよ。それと不純物も吸い出す」一発理解
Thanks
!!! Thank you so much!!!
This is more than a weapon and a piece of art.
You keeps an ancient tradition alive and deserve more respect.

What a story, lets goooo!
Thats good story, absolutly like
It’s just a blade.
If it was his grandfather's sword then I'd imagine it had been passed down precisely two generations.
With videos like this, now people all over the world come to know real way to make katana and Japanese culture, which makes me happy as Japanese.
Watching a Katana being made is relaxing to me and such a pleasure to watch. If I could physically be there to watch them make it I would, wouldn't even care how much time it takes. Thank you for letting watch you guys make this beautiful piece of art.
Thanks so much for watching and for the kind comment!
Absolutely amazingly beautiful. The Japanese katana is a true work of art.
thank you！
ありがとう！

It's the two different types of metal that create the curve. The claying creates the hamon.

I've always seen quenches on oil, not on water, so this was surprising. Why is that?

@@Japanesefoodcraftsman yes the tradition must be preserved

"seems"
I admire you for how much patience and passion you have, and you also cultivate accuracy in what you do. I would like to visit your wonderful country in the future
So much tradition and craftsmanship goes into making your beautiful blade. Truly amazing.
The labor of love going into each hammer strike...MUCH RESPECT from a fellow bladesmith.
Thank you for sharing true craftmanship and keeping Bushido alive. Some American's still admire Japanese traditions. Arigato!

Beautiful sword !
Your art is absolutely beautiful! I can almost see the katana smiling when complete. Thank you.
焼き入れ後の水に入れた瞬間、逆側に反ってその後元の反りに戻る映像初めて見た！まさに命が吹き込まれたようで感動😍
大昔からこうやって刀は作られてきたんだな～
厳かで神聖な感じがする日本の伝統。
ずっと引き継がれるといいですね。
Truly magnificent work this is what you call true art and much respect for keeping old traditions alive we should all be doing that instead of catering do the modern ways of the world today the Japanese are truly a amazing people
People who made such masterpieces sure deserve respect😊
Wow - Thank you for sharing your tradition, my soul is connected with the craftsman. This is a museum video, well made as the Katana. THANK these men whenever you can
what an honour to see how masters create this legendary sword. thank you
What fascinates us is not the sword they make. What impresses me personally is the level of perfection that this sword has reached over the centuries. Just think, achieving perfection in a period far removed from the age of science is truly admirable.
I didn't know that so much work goes into making a sword like this, fascinating and awesome. To think thousands of these were made to fight wars.
The dedication and pursuit of excellence by the Japanese culture is truly unbelievable!🙏
You know nothing of Japanese culture clearly. You couldn’t be more wrong buddy.
To me the crafting process is just as beautiful as the final product.
12:57 So much tradition and craftsmanship goes into making your beautiful blade. Truly amazing.
一個一個に解説付きで分かりやすいし勉強になる
As a part-time toolmaker, I'm impressed. I make chisels out of rebar everyday and I also use most of these smithing techniques.
Brine is my preferred quenchant.
An absolute work of are created by true craftsmen that still uphold traditional processes. Great video.
I have a lot of respect for people and artists/ blacksmiths from Japan, for they are great people
I watched a documentary if I remember right on PBS years ago. It made a big impact on me. I hope this tradition and craftsmanship is not lost.
Forged With True Japanese Steel. What A Thing Of Beauty
Such patience and skill. Was truly amazing to watch such a masterful craft.
this is real art!!! i am a brazilian and one of my hobbies is watching katana sword craftmanship videos!! i love katana swords, specially those with wooden sheath and hilt. one day, i´m gonna have one of those...

Please never let this die. Keep the tradition. I am not Japanese, I’m from the US and may know nothing of sword making but one day I hope to. This is art, this is something that I hope lives in forever
日本の伝統工芸作品、刀凄い。手間暇手塩にかけて、作ってる姿見ると、凄いです。一回、高松の刀の展示会行きました。感動しました、刃紋や鞘も

13:02 wow! You can actually see the blade form its iconic bend
Yeah, the sword does indeed bend in real time and it can be seen very clearly.
13:00 that bends and crackles are ethereal. It’s like the katana finally injected with a soul and bends upwards to life
That's a beautiful process making a katana. 😮
Impressionante. Do início ao fim é possível ver a diferença de um trabalho profissional e um amador. Amazing
Absolutely beautiful process and product.
What a rare treat to watch and to see.
Absolutely a beautiful blade truly a work of art.
Even the way it was packaged was impressive indeed.. if I owned a sword made by these men.. knowing the craftsmanship and ingenuity behind making it alone would be something awesome. My katanas are not worth near what this one is. I hope these kinds of ironsmiths live on throughout.
They made a Katana from many centuries. Traditional Japanese culture is good thing. Respect!
..............BISOUS BONJOUR DE LA FRANCE BIENVENUE JADORE CONTINUER MERCI
I visited Japan on 2 occasions. I am blown away by their attention to detail with everything. As far as im concerned, the Japanese are the finest craftsmen in the world.
Came to see how the Pattern was done and learned a whole bunch more. Great skills.
I’m so glad I have access to stuff like this online… I’d most likely never get to see this being done by someone of his expertise, would like to learn
プロセスごとに番号振って展示してあったり焼入れが横から見れたり伝える努力も凄い
This is really amazing to watch. This is my dream hobby I one day hope to do before I die. Amazing craft gentlemen.

Saya dari indonesia..sangat tertarik dengan keindahan proses pembuatan katana
Mau bunuh orang? 😂
It was fascinating to observe the process. Thank you very much for sharing and best wishes to you.
I love the craftsmanship.
12:59 刀の反りって一旦逆に反って戻って反るんだ‼️初めて見たけどすげぇww
I know, it's cool how metal expands and contracts as it changes temperature
也许刀刃和刀脊覆盖的是两种不同的土？视频里没有解释如何出现这种弯曲的，很遗憾。
@@jingzhao9841 Yes, it is two different types of clay that insulate the steel differently so that the edge cools faster while the spine cools slower.

Keren, proses nya sangat rumit,tapi aku yakin hasilnya luar biasa...❤
Every sword has its own soul, i believe that. How i wish i could have one not for slaying but for house protection..I really admire the Japanese tradition about Katana..❤❤🇵🇭❤️
I wanna come and make my own and do all the labor and traditions so bad. Love the samurai history.
...those stones...,.

Ive always loved katanas. The history behind them. The way they are made. The time the passion. Ive always wanted one but they are very expensive
One of the best videos i have ever seen......you are real masters!.....Greetings from Vienna!
I hope to learn such art from masters of this art of swordsmithing
complimenti.e'molto bello vedere la vostra arte nel lavorare il ferro.bravi
❤ wow respect from The Netherlands 😊 always found this fascinating to learn
Sir you are really blessed ! Sword making is not just an art but a blessing, especially a katana ! I pray to the universal energies to always bless you with their presence and protect you always !

いいですね。刀は、ビシッとキランとする光が好きですなぁ。
鬼刃の刀鍛冶職人は、切磋琢磨している所が惹き込まれました
So facinating and the end product is absolutely beautiful.
An amazing and beautiful heritage and process.
Thank you for this video, it was very informative even though I don't speak Japanese and the automatic subtitling is not working, I still learned so much to think about for my own blacksmithing.
昔の人ってどうやってこの工程思いついたんだろうな～
泥かけたり藁つけたり、均等にしたのを割ってまた一塊にしたり
凄いな～
Throughout human history, nothing has been made as beautiful as the katana
Não há dúvidas! A cultura japonesa é a mais linda do mundo e essas espadas então, são demais lindas mesmo, feito pelas mãos de profissionais que seguem a risca a tradição.
Vídeo espetacular, parabéns por manterem a tradição fabricando essas belas obras de arte.
Pretty cool. Crazy how hard things were back then compared to now.
Beautiful workmanship ,you are all true craftsman.
Wow, ini asli, sangat2 rapi
良いものは美しい。手にとりたくなる
i'm enjoying watching a master at work..❤
Hello from Russia..Kuril Island, Shikotan.I Russian, but Japan in my heart. Peace to peace.
Beautiful work of art .. Thank You for sharing .. Cheers :)
I truly pray that aincent tradition, art, and skill of forging katana’s not only never dies but thrives. 🔥
刀鍛冶の技術は一度滅びました
技術は継続していません
現代の刀鍛冶は試行錯誤しながら古代の技術を復活させた物であり、未だに古代の日本刀を超える物を作り出す事は不可能なのです...
「本物の日本刀」は日本各地の博物館に展示されていますが、その迫力は現代に作られる日本刀とは全くの別物です
Art work, exclusively process and unique product.👍
This is incredible.
