REVEALING THE BEAUTY IN A BLADE
An ancient Japanese sword regains its original brilliance and sharpness through careful polishing. Polishing and sharpening a single katana can take 100-140 hours of work, requiring intense concentration and a finely tuned sense of touch as you bring a Katana back to life.
You'll learn under the guidance of our master polisher, one of the most prestigious in the world, with disciples all over Japan and even overseas. As waiting lists for top togishi in Japan often span years due to the scarcity of masters, we are incredibly privileged to have access to this master.
Customers may handle authentic blades often hundreds of years old and highly treasured as only the most valuable blades are worth professional polishing.
By directly experiencing several phases of this process, you'll learn the nuances of sharpening, gaining deeper appreciation for each unique Katana as your eye is trained to better recognize quality work that has been brought to life by the many artists behind it.
Note: This experience requires sitting and bending forward for long periods of time which may be challenging.
