Samurai Sword Craftsmanship

The skill that went into the making of Samurai Swords is alive and well throughout Japan. Exquisite but expensive authentic katana (gatana) are available in Japan (limited supply due to restrictions). This display was for hand crafted gardening implements made by hand in the tradition of the Samurai Sword makers. Although the gardening equipment made in this manner is much more expensive than mass produced tools, it will work much better and last far longer than anything else.
