Take home your own forged knife in Asakusa
“You can learn how to hammer in 3 years, but to sharpen takes a lifetime.
叩き三年研ぎ一生”
This summer in Japan, there will be lots of unpredictable rain and humid days ahead. Stay cool by spending indoors and enriching yourself in Japanese cultural activities. Great for souvenirs!
I took a knife workshop at BUB Activity center in Asakusa. The total duration took about 1.5 hours.
At 11:00, we started from introducing the history. What is the difference between Japanese vs. Western knives? What is the material made out of? What tools do you need to sharpen the knife?
