These are the best videos on swordsmithing I’ve ever seen! They show how laborious the process actually is and it explains why Japanese swords cost me a fortune! May I ask, when hammering, I sometimes see you splashing water onto the anvil/power hammer anvil with an explosion of steam when you hammer down. Why do you do this? What is it’s purpose?

When are you uploading episode 7

I really appreciate your videos. You're incredibly lively and grounded with your work. And your love for what you do really shines---one can feel it in how you convey the importance of each detail, and one can tell you aim to educate and share that passion for the future of the craft. I will be doing this whole process by hand in a few weeks because I love the patterns and the history in the product, but I have no power hammer or press. Even if I fail to produce anything of quality, I think it will be cool to have as a memory.

Can’t wait to buy a Nihonto from you one day.

Amazing video loved it thank you so much for it.

Dear Yasha Yukawa, it has been a long time since your last post, are you ok? I and i think many more, would love to see more of you! 🙂I hope this message finds you well and i wish you a nice day.

im so hoping you perform zuba yaki! perhaps a chu suguha or maby an ichimongi chogi?

Hello as an amateur blacksmith in America and lover of Japanese culture it is nice to see someone with a different viewpoint on blacksmithing. the way you structure your videos reminds me of Integza, crazy rocket builder. You have inspired me to get back in to charcoal forges which is where I started. Keep doing this your good at it.

Hey! I just came on Your channel, after months of watching swordsmithing videos on youtube, i thought there is none about katanas in traditional ways left, and bam, here's you! Great content, i enjoy every minute of your video and work, keep it up!

Wonderful work, best regards from Germany, Thomas ❤

Im very much looking forward to the next episode of this, fantastic craftsmanship

Great video!

Very nice video! Waiting for episode 7!

This is the real fucking deal. This is art and tradition, thanks for keeping it alive. I have a mere interest in these areas and you my friend seem to have true talent.

Yasha san, how did this sword turn out? I'd really like to see it along with an update on how life is going! Gambatte kudasai! 🙇‍♂️

I r enjoy your videos and helps my anxiety. I been waiting for a new one forever! Hope you are ok!✅

Everything becomes connected eventually

Thank you for the insight into this beautiful artistry.

What a privilege to watch these vids. THANK YOU KIND SIR. 🙏 In another life I must have been a weapon smith ... but sadly in this one I have tears in both of my shoulders, and a surgically repaired spine that preclude my taking up the craft ... so I can only spectate and daydream about it.

I still feel he could use 3-4 apprentices. Doing this job is every mans dream

did the softer metal core go in?

i dont recall seeing the insertion of the softer metal core

Is their a limit on how many times you can fold a piece of metal? or if you invest the time could you fold in as many times as you want?

everything is relaxing in this series despite all the hammering noise..it helps me sleep (in a good way) ❤

The path of life embued with the path of steel. Such a unique soul journey. Need an apprentice?

I can't wait for the episode 7, greetings from Finland! 👏🏻

Seems a lot of urgency and timing in this phase😊

Live y use modern hammer doesn't get tired ,more impurities gone ,what is Yr thoughts on modern air blowers respect to Yr work ,and continuity of traditional methods of pride in the piece

What a Interesting anomaly how a video can Inspire and change your perspective on life and the struggles we all perceive. I appreciate your video and how it brings me comfort and relaxation. Super super beautiful and makes me want to sharpen and make blades. Keep up the good work. Thank you for your journey your sharing with us.

I had a chance to go to a REAL Swordsmith Shop the second time I was in Japan, but weather prevented it. (I DID bring back a couple of knives and a Katana when I left Japan, back in the mid '60's, though!). Always loved the Japanese culture and history (wish more people were like that in the world...!). Thank you so much for bringing these videos on line, where I can get to see just how a REAL sword is made (I've been "tinkering around" with making knives for over 65 years, and learn something NEW every time I talk to another Bladesmith...!).

For en fantastisk film! I love your approach to life and its interesting twists and turns. I've been making scandi knives since I learned to swing the hammer by my grandfather 50 years ago, and he by his father and so on... Until I got struck by issues related to Covid. Finally i got diagnosed with cancer 13 months ago. But now I'm able to swing the hammer again. Using two days on what I used to do in two hours. I've not appreciated my work until now. It's interesting that I needed to get sick before I could heal on the inside. Livet är et mysterium!

Greetings from the Czech Republic. Interesting videos. I wish you luck and success on your katana kaji journey. It's not always easy.

Tachi would be my choice too! Love the channel!

Hi Yasha, your videos are such a pleasure. Love the edit of you revealing the o-tanto, badass beats. Stay well friend.

こんにちは、私はベルギーで情熱を持って鍛冶屋をしており、ビデオ撮影者でもあります。現在、私は自分のビデオプロジェクトのためにのみ鍛造しています。それは美しい工芸ですが、古代の人間的な方法でそれを実践するのは困難です。共有していただきありがとうございます

Thanks for your art and your TIME you spend on doing this video work. I look forward to seeing your next installment!

The swedish swearing caught me off guard :D so unexpected! Yasha i think you should try polishing in a standing position, that might help your backpain a bit, atleast its more comfortable for me.

Just wanted to say I really enjoy the videos you make they are not only relaxing to watch but very informative. Even with all the hardships you still pushed through and made it happen. As my grandfather used to tell me everyday is a learning experience, some good and some bad, but as long as we continue to push forward we will go into the next day with more knowledge for tomorrow.

The passage you wrote at the beginning of the video was utterly brilliant and eye opening. Thank you.

Mantém a tua atitude e princípios nos vídeos, pois são únicos!!!!! Obrigado.

マスターに敬意を表して、彼の痛みが早く過ぎ去りますように。 🇧🇷*Meus respeitos ao mestre, que sua dor passe logo.

Thank you for bringing to me a new perspective of 'narrow-view problems versus horizon-wide life' on that big rock at the hilltop. It was a satori moment for me. Thank you.

Without wanting to criticize. But is it absolutely necessary to polish in this unnatural position? So you're bound to get back pain. and advancing age doesn't help either. Otherwise, thank you for the insights into your craft

Your skill with steel is very impressive. Your blades are truly beautiful. Do you ever allow people to tour your forge?
