Japanese Sword Appraisal and Appreciation by A Top Blacksmith

- We recently took a wonderful class, a Japanese sword class from one of the top sword smiths of our time. It was a limited class held in conjunction with his current exhibition in Nara, Japan, and we were able to hear directly from him about swords and learn some basic but very important lessons for the enjoyment of Japanese swordsmanship.
His students and the sharpener who sharpened his swords were also in attendance, and the atmosphere was friendly from start to finish, not unlike that of traditional Japanese craftspeople. I was reminded of a story I heard the other day from Shimpei, Kunihira's son, who was speaking with us, who said, "Who decided that craftsmen are taciturn, I like to talk, so I will talk. He was right, Kunihira was a wonderful craftsman with a good story, energy, and a great sense of humor.

All the art pieces are so beautiful that it is hard to believe that he made them with such a good sense of humor. If you have a chance, you should take a look. Kunihira Kawachi's swords will be displayed and sold at Strata, a store in Japan or Maine, USA.

Love this!
This is so cool to see all the details, gives you appreciation for the work these blacksmiths put into their craft.
Literally gold
I'm beyond grateful for this video that men not only teaches how to appreciate katana but how to appreciate beauty
the bohi carving is of very high skill ... also the polish of the wet look is very impressive.
Truly amazing. Best content EVER!!!
Thank you
Thank you so much !!
Your appreciation for the craft is unmistakable, I am not a craftsman but I have deep admiration for those who have dedicated themselves to the perfection/pursuit of their chosen profession. Recognition is owed to these craftsman, many don’t have kids and lead lives of solitude, by choice mind you. Anyway thank you. On a side note do you recommend using the uchiko powder on knives that have oil residue on from storage?
Thank you for the kind words!
And yes I use Uchiko powder to clean knives that have been finished with natural
Stones but first removing as much oil as possible with tissue, then gently dust the knife with a softened Uchiko ball and again remove the remaining oil residue
Amazing! Such a gift to see this!
Another extremely enjoyable experience, thank you dearly for these videos. For the intro, a more accurate translation for Mukansa would be "without judgement".
That’s good translation! I’ll use that next time
Шашки не жалей... вспомнилось... оружие - это расходник! Тут же - красивая картинка и хорошая реклама... но спасибо! Видно что делалось для пары ударов по крестьянам... ручка держится на одном чопике, а чтобы не развалилось, перемотана веревкой - круто!)
❤🔥
This was so good to learn about how to properly handle and appreciate how to enjoy these masterpieces. It is a goal to one day see one in real life.
As a sidenote, whoever did the subtitles, wow, they are incredibly well done.
I really love you guys's videos, they are made with love :)
The Samurai Sword, A Handbook by John M. Yumoto is helpful.
Can anyone recommend an appraiser to look at a Samari Sword Bring back? Its engraved signature in the metal, shark skin over wood with purple silk signed silk bag and it appears to have blood over the tang signature etching.
Very nice! Just curious why the masks? Too bad they didnt do a cutting demonstration and perhaps allow you to cut.
The masks are to protect the swords from saliva when talking it’s common etiquette when looking at swords.
My god Kawachi actually TEACHING instead of Abusing his students ? Some kind of Miricle ? It must be a FAKE he likes to abuse his deshi ...... Don't fall for it Ivan Yuka _ Japan .
