Hello, I know this doesn't really answer the question you have been asking but I have really want to ask you a question!
I am going to Japan at the end of May this year until mid-June and I am travelling all across Japan and I really really want to meet a sword smith. Possibly to buy a sword but in any case to just really visit the furnace and see the whole process. I speak very little Japanese but I understand it at a mediocre level. Could you tell me how I would be able to meet up with any sword smith, possibly the one you met. Could you give me his contact or any info or guidance would be great =D
THANK YOU in advance.
