  I think it's heartwarming that his father's mentor just came and train him to mastery

  Es ist in einem nicht in Worte zu fassenden  Ausmaß bedauerlich  , dass unzählige dieser Kunstwerke heute in , vergessenen Schubladen vor sich hin schlummern und so , dem Kunst interessierten Volk vorenthalten werden . Es kann nur Beachtung finden  , was uns allen zugänglich ist also sei Sammlern gesagt , dass es allein ihre Pflicht ist , diese Kunstwerke als Würdigung der Meister , wieder ans Tageslicht zu bringen und sie allen zugänglich zu machen  . 😊😊😊

  Ive studied feudal Japanese weaponry and armor for fifteen years and ive been a blacksmith for about eight years and the more I study and the more time passes the more I get interested in the details like making tsuba or the small decorative pieces for armor and koshirea for swords. While making swords is always rewarding it can get repetitive.
