Only here in Okinawa! Ryukyu knife forging experience using a similar process as applied to the Japanese sword.
This is a one-day course of Ryukyu knife crafting experience. You'll be instructed by a professional swordsmith who makes unique swords in Okinawa Prefecture.
As the production of a sword takes a long time, in this activity we will work with a small shaped knife.
This Ryukyu knife can be used on the same day after its completion.
About the swordsmith (or 刀匠 'Tosho'→ sword master)
During the making process, we'll give you step-by-step details in a gentle way.
You can also take photos at any time.
At lunch time, you can have a deeper conversation with the swordsmith while enjoying home-made or local cuisine from Okinawa. (※ It's possible to have lunch separately from the swordsmith, depending on your request.)
Please understand that local staff will only provide service in Japanese or English.
