Story
Blades of Legacy: The Kunimitsu Swordsmiths of Omuta
For over 200 years, the Shirou Kunimitsu clan has passed down their Japanese sword making traditions and techniques 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 are devoted to inheriting and protecting sword making traditions, passing them down to the next generation in the form of household knives.
