Make Your Own Japanese Knife (Sharpening and Engraving)

Shape and craft your own customized knife in the heart of Tokyo with this unique indoor experience celebrating the beautiful Japanese art of knife-making. Begin by putting on a light version of a haori, a kimono-style jacket provided by the crew to protect your clothes from accidental stains. Sit down with a cup of tea or juice and learn the cultural history and traditions behind Japanese knives and swords from a friendly master. This immersive experience combines craftsmanship, culture, and relaxation in a hands-on, creative activity perfect for both beginners and enthusiasts.

Choose the type and size of the blade you want to sharpen and engage in the meditative process of sharpening under guidance from English-speaking crew members. They provide personalized advice, correct movements, and share friendly conversation, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. Complete your masterpiece by engraving your name in Japanese letters on the handle and attaching it with a traditional hammer. Observation by friends or family is possible for a small on-site fee, ensuring everyone can enjoy the cultural experience even if not participating directly.
