Takefu Knife Village
What a fantastic day at the Takefu Knife Village, a knife factory founded in 1336. We had the opportunity to follow and apply the 12 stages to make our own Santoku Knife.
Flattening, grinding, polishing, sharpening and finally stamping our own Kanji initials onto the knife.
Unforgettable experience of sharing true craftsmanship.
Dave. Day Ten. Takefu Knife Village
We kicked off this day with making out own knives at the Takefu Knife Village.
Many more posts to come.
Man, I wish I was a Japanese child.
Not only you get a cool sticker on your car, but also some stuff to smoke…
Even MORE Sewer Iron Art…
I have to say, I am amazed by the quality of their work. Every city, every district has their very own model. It’s art on the streets.
The Mikuni Matsuri Yama’s
This year, 8 Yama’s(samurai) started off on the procession.
They are 6 meters high and a crew must push them while another lays the drums inside.
Really impressive.
Quelle belle photo…

Flying Yama Rice Bread
As the Yama’s start off to the procession, the team throws rice bread cakes filled with red beans as a gift! Caught one!
