Story
Forging the Future: A Lone Blacksmith’s Legacy
In the small town of Minamisaki in Kumamoto Prefecture, craftsman Nishida-san sits in front of his forge, crafting true Japanese-style knives.
Nishida-san has spent over 20 years mastering the art and soul of blacksmithing. With each swing of his hammer, he strives to create an even sharper, higher quality knife. A one-man operation, Nishida-san carries out the entire crafting process by himself, from start to finish.
In a world where traditional handcrafting traditions are slowly disappearing in the face of mass production, Nishida-san works hard to keep the centuries-old tradition of honwarikomi alive.
