HIRATA SWORDSMITH – TAMAHAGANE KNIFE FORGING EXPERIENCE (OME CITY, TOKYO)
Hirata Swordsmith is a traditional forge located in Ome City, a suburb of Tokyo, run by the husband and wife team of Suhei Hirata, who has 13 years of training, and Wakana Hirata, one of the world’s rare female “Murashita” (furnace guardians of the tatara furnace)They forge blades using ancient techniques with their homemade tamahagane steel .. Participants can challenge themselves to create an original knife using the same tatara steelmaking technology as samurai swords. The finished knives will be engraved with the participant’s name by the craftsmen and mailed at a later date.
This is a private experience held at the workshop of Kanetaka Hamono, a long-established forge operating since the Edo period, located near the Oike intersection in central Kyoto. After closely observing a demonstration of Japanese sword forging by a craftsman, you will adjust the furnace fire yourself and forge a knife blade by hammering red-hot steel. This is a valuable opportunity to experience traditional techniques, from the dynamic forging process with sparks flying to the sharpening. The finished knife will be engraved with your name and mailed to you later, so you can receive it after returning home from your trip empty-handed.

This is a private experience where you can forge a kozuka (tanto) using the same traditional methods as Japanese swords, under the guidance of Yuya Nakanishi (Swordsmith Masahiro), a young swordsmith with a workshop in Kameoka, a suburb of Kyoto. Over approximately 4 hours, you will heat and hammer tamahagane steel to create a blade, completing a one-of-a-kind kozuka with a hamon that you designed yourself. After quenching, the swordsmith will engrave the blade with your name, and you can take home the sword you forged on the same day. This intensive experience, which also includes explanations of Japanese sword culture and history, will allow you to feel the essence of craftsmanship up close.
This is more than a luxury activity—it’s a transformative cultural rite. Whether in the mountains of Tokyo or the artisanal heart of Kyoto, forging your own knife or kozuka is an unforgettable encounter with Japan’s soul.
