Tools - Knives- Swords. The art of steel processing came to Japan 1000 years later than in the western world. It is therefore all the more astonishing to see the high culture of forging that developed in the Land of the Rising Sun within such a short time. For the first time, a specialist book explains the traditional methods of Japanese tool, knife and sword smiths and provides an insight into their workshops. Richly illustrated, ten typical examples, from razors to swords, explain the development of forged pieces with strong character. Chapters on the oldest coppersmith in Japan and on traditional Tatara steel smelting round off this unique documentation. An indispensable work not only for amateur and professional blacksmiths, but also for all admirers of Japanese craft culture.
