This is Shirou Kunimitsu Blacksmith
For over 200 years, the Shirou Kunimitsu clan has passed down their traditions and techniques in crafting Japanese swords in the countryside of Omuta City.
Today, there are three craftsmen working together at the smithy: Yasumitsu, Kunimitsu, Kokuten.
They use their ancestors' wisdom to not only create swords, but also traditional hammer forged knives. Crafted with the same steel and techniques as swords, their knives are outstanding in sharpness and beauty.
The Shirou Kunimitsu clan is devoting themselves to inheriting and protecting sword making traditions, carrying them to the next generation in the form of households knives.
