SHADOWING THE UNSEEN

Japan through the

hands of its

masters.

The Access


The traditions around Japanese katana have long been practiced in close circles.

IN THE ROOM


What we offer goes further than most Japan itineraries reach. Sessions with masters who have given their lives to one practice. You will experience their work alongside them.

The Film


We came to Japan as filmmakers first. We commit to making katana education accessible and accurate, our documentaries self-funded and free of charge. Every booking contributes directly to the master who leads it.
