Story
Forging Tradition: Four Generations of Nakamura Hamono
Swordsmith Eiji Nakamura opened his smithy - Nakamura Hamono - in 1900 in Oita to provide the local community with practical tools for farming and daily life. Today, his 74-year-old grandson Tetsuyoshi Nakamura runs the shop, along with his son and fourth-generation blacksmith, Kozo Nakamura.
The two craftsmen keep to traditional crafting techniques while adapting to modern needs. They create kitchen knives, household cutlery, farming tools, and professional knives. Known for their uniquely creative knives made from fine steels, Nakamura Hamono blends practical functionality with a distinctly Japanese style.
