About
This site is part blog, part travel journal, part homage to today’s master craftsmen of the Japanese sword.
For personal development reasons I’ve pursued an interest in metal work of all kinds. It’s created reasons for purposeful travel and interaction with many people I’ve come to respect both as individuals and craftsmen. Among the various classes of craftsmen, Japanese sword craftsmen have become the focus of my study and pursuit.
Although there’s never a straight path to anything, my intent is to use what I’m exposed to in terms of knowledge and experience for my own eventual artistic pursuits. Until then, I gladly retain title of student.
