The Appeal of Nihonto

Introduction
Nihonto, Japanese swords, have a unique appeal.
Unlike other forms of art such as painting, it is a weapon and much more. kurigata
Unique skills and techniques are necessary to forge swords in Japan.
First, tamahagane (Japanese iron) is made by processing iron sand at low temperatures,
then the iron is separated by carbon content and each piece is folded over and over again fuchi

before being arranged together and combined. Depending on the method used,
this process also produces the hada (patterns in the iron).

That part done, the hamon is drawn on using mud, known as tsuchioki.
Finally, yakiire (quenching) produces the hamon, sori, nie, and nioi of the sword.
The completed blade is then passed to togishi, shiroganeshi, sayashi, tsukamakishi, nushi, etc menuki
