Each participant makes their own Japanese knife by first choosing the type of knife to create. Over about 90 minutes, they shape and sharpen the blade. Then, they attach a custom Magnolia wood handle using a hammer. Participants engrave their name in Japanese on the handle. Tea and coffee are provided during the session. A guide is present throughout to assist with the process. All fees and taxes are included. Each participant receives a custom-designed key-holder as a gift. Optional knife care kits are available for purchase. Larger knives are not included in this workshop.
Put on the light version of haori (Japanese kimono-style jacket) provided by the crew to protect your clothes from accidental stains. Sit down, have some tea or juice (variety of soft drinks available) and learn the cultural aspects and history behind Japanese knives and swords from friendly Japanese master. Choose the type of the blade you`d love to sharpen this time (up to 5 types of knives available, some of them are for a small additional charge) and the size of the knife. Sharpen the blade and become a master of a meditative process which takes a lot of concentration and perfectly relieves stress. Several english-speaking crew members are always there to sustain an intimate chat and correct the movements. You`ll get an opportunity to engage into friendly conversations with natives while polishing your knife making skills and getting a personalized advice. Engrave sakura trees or your name in Japanese letters on the handle and attach it usung a traditional hammer to make the work of art complete. If you decide to come with a friend or family member to observe the experience (not participate in it), we will kindly ask to pay an observation fee on site.
