Thank you so much for this interview, both you and Mr. Mori. This is a fascinating take on the transition from Chokuto to Wanto that I have never seen explored. Very much looking forward to the next part!
i throughly enjoyed the Mr. Mori interview so much i subscribed to his channel thank you for bringing this knowledgeable and passionate man to my attention
As always friend, great content!! I also am a “swordsmith” and been studying Japanese and Korean martial arts since about 1984. It is fun to hear others talk about their experiences and journey!! I would have loved to be the 3rd person in your clan of drunken sword enthusiasts lol! Because where I live, there are not many (in fact zero) people that I can have a in-depth conversation about my passion. It is fairly obscure topic, especially when you get into the thick weeds and finer nuances of nihonto. So thanks again. I would love to see more of Sensei’s work!
Thank you for showcasing Master Mori, a man with sunshine in his soul, and a great passion for his craft. I think he would be a great teacher. His apprentice is lucky. Looking forward to Part II.
As a swordsman I appreciate that Sukemitsu Sensei has a philosophical understanding of his art. I feel that such inspiration contributes greatly and that his own spirit is embodied in his swords. It would be good to show a few examples of his work.
One of the people who popularized the katana was the powerful Taira no Masakado, who was also a horse ranch owner, and a large number of katana have been discovered in the ruins of his ranch. At the time, commoners did not participate in wars and were mainly mounted warriors rather than infantry, so tachi became popular. During the Muromachi period, as infantry increased in number, uchigatana became mainstream. After the Cold War, communist historians in Japan wrote many incorrect history books, but with the spread of the Internet, primary sources were shared and errors in books written by communists began to be pointed out. However, their information is still spread. Japanese people over a certain age still believe the information provided by communist historians. In Asia, communists continued to spread the information that monarchs were evil and stupid, which led to the elimination of royal families.
Simply, cost. A new sword made from scratch would cost more than adapting an existing sword. So at the beginning, many existing tachi were adapted to wanto. With a new scabbard, and fittings, no one would know unless they had the opportunity to examine the sword closely. But of course, over time, those with the means to commission a new sword would have the wanto specifications as default for their new swords. It was ever thus. Even in Europe, it was not unknown to adapt existing Swords to latter evolutionary design changes.

何と言うか非常に魅力的な職人さんですね😊
歴史から「何故」を深く思索して自らのアイデンティティを構築してらっしゃる。
稀有な存続だと思います。
湾刀の誕生が蝦夷の騎馬隊からだと思ってましたが、お話しを伺って目から鱗でした😊
あまり飲み過ぎず身体を大切に、素晴らしい作品を生み続けて下さいませ😊

"J'ai bu un forgeron et découvert les secrets des épées japonaises "...!
This is priceless.
Les commentaires en Français sont absurdes dans le mix final!

すけみつさんやん

How would i be able to get in contact with him to order a sword?
For sword orders from swordsmith Mori, please contact me at my email address: loveblockx@gmail.com
It’s warakiribattosai’s brother.
In indonesia its not folded that many times like authentic nihonto katana but still forged ofc
Or they came in contack with middle east swards😁
If katana didnt emerge from tachi, why are so many famous katana from the Kamakura period shortened tachi ?
