Samurai Sword Video

On a trip to Kyoto, Waka sensei, my friend Naho and I stumbled on a shop that stocks swords and samurai armor called Tozando. It was a treasure trove that the makers of Kill Bill would be proud of. In fact, the craftsmen who made the armor stocked in the shop also made the armor used in "The Last Samurai" with Tom Cruise. According to the guy we spoke to, the armor and swords were all made recently but the armor was modeled in the style of the Sengoku period or "Warring states period" roughly 1478 to 1605. The craftsman ship was just incredible.


The owners of Tozando kindly let us film in their shop and patiently answered all my questions. If you are in Kyoto it is worth checking out.

@KrimzonKnight01 ...
@KrimzonKnight01 advise for you; don't bother to argue fanboys. It's like arguing over religion. Maybe you already know this by now but anyway;? so called genuine jap. swords are made by a restricted number of smiths and also the monthly output of blades is limited by law. That means that the potential clientele is quite limited and they simply wouldn't buy such an expensive product if it's not made with trad.Tamahagane. That's all, it's not better than modern high performance steel. 90% mythos
