Echizen Forged Blade Blacksmithing Experience

Echizen forged blades are traditional crafts continuing from the Muromachi period. In a workshop in Echizen City, under the guidance of active blacksmithing craftspeople, you can experience authentic blacksmithing by heating and striking iron. Strike glowing red-hot iron with a hammer and polish it to create one-of-a-kind small blades or paper knives. Experience the dramatic process as sparks fly, touching the very origins of craftsmanship. Finished products can be taken home the same day.
