Our association have examination every year for progress skills and preservation about Japanese sword making. We show prize works in this examination and high skill worker of Japanese sword making.
Japanese sword makers study to preserve traditional Japanese iron culture, try to make his work like old-Japanese sword, and show his character. They use Tamahagane (raw steel which suite to product of Japanese sword) made by Nittoho-Tatara which make steels by traditional way. Workers of sculpture on Japanese sword devote himself to heighten more artistic and match the sword. Chasers study hardly by modeling Edo period works.
