-- TRANSCRIPT and EDITOR'S NOTES --
Coming soon
-- INTRODUCTION --
Enjoying the quiet summer months, we traveled across Japan to Miyakonojo and the Kirishima sankei region to visit one of the last wooden weapon workshops of Japan: “Nidome Bokuto Seisakujo”.
The founder switched from the manufacture of agricultural tools to Bokken in 1964.
The tradition is perpetuated today by the founder’s sons, Master Nidome Yoshiaki & Masahiro working as a team.

Jonathan Gomez Nice! I am a hobby carpenter with old hand tools from Tennessee in the U.S. Maybe we can all exchange some idea. Or pictures at least. These videos are awesome. I love to see the work and the land. I can feel the love of excellence and wood. Be well, Mr. Gomez.
