HITOFURI is a project committed to inheriting the traditional techniques of Japanese swordsmithing into the modern era, and creating new value. Our goal is to fuse tradition and modernity, convey the charm and value of traditional techniques to many people, and bridge these to the future.

This project was initiated by Nishidate, a former hairdresser who has experienced the path of a craftsman. From his experiences, he understands the dignity and challenges of artisans, and his mission is to broadly communicate the value and appeal of Japanese traditional techniques.

Participation in HITOFURI deepens your understanding and respect for traditional culture and becomes an encounter with a new set of values that incorporates it into your own life. Let's share this new challenge and adventure together.
