Full Description
Discover the artistry behind Japanese knives and swords in this immersive and meditative workshop held in the heart of Asakusa. Begin by choosing your blade and learning about its history and cultural relevance. Participate in a short mini-game to test your ability to distinguish between a sharp and dull blade.
You’ll then move on to the sharpening process, an essential and therapeutic step requiring focus and precision. Guided by bilingual instructors, you’ll gain hands-on skills while enjoying friendly conversation and support.
Once sharpened, it’s time to attach the handle. Using a traditional Japanese hammer, you’ll finalize the knife assembly — a rewarding process that blends physical effort with craftsmanship.
To make your knife truly personal, engrave your initials onto the blade. Afterward, enjoy Japanese tea and snacks as your knife is carefully packaged with aesthetics in mind.
This workshop is perfect for those looking for a unique cultural experience — and to leave Tokyo with more than just a souvenir: a handcrafted tool with personal meaning.
