Will check it out later.......if it's not brand new I've probably seen it already
Recently watched something about the polishing of these swords.
I'm quite frankly amazed that there are still young people, Japanese or otherwise, willing to take on an apprenticeship like that.....kneeling on a funny pedestal setup for hours on end polishing.....for years on end. And if you're not the favourite student you get to cook and clean as well.
Mind boggling that a modern person will still submit to that.
