Recently, Japanese Katana market has been declining. There is only one shop in my town where can ask for my Katana sharpening. The shop also has no successor, only old craftsmen remain. However, women started to buy Katanas because of the influence of anime. It seems that customers have returned a little.

I've kinda understood that it's been on the decline. Iaido isn't a common art to practice. And even then most people use blunted swords. Live blades are mostly made simply for the art at this point is my understanding.

Most traditional crafts all over the world demand years of hard work for little pay, that's why these arts are dying. Only wealthy people or those who do not have to worry about money can engage in arts and crafts long enough to be masters. Even if a katana is expensive, most of the cost goes to the production, and the swordsmith only earns minimal profit. You can only do it for love, not for money.

Hardly ahead of it’s time. Katanas were created based on tried and true designs and techniques imported from China and continued those traditions even as sword making methods evolved elsewhere. It was still a quality blade however and ironically resulted in the large importation of Japanese swords by China some 700 years after those technologies were exported to Japan.

I've been here once and bought a sword there, the one I got cut pretty well too, don't know about the other ones but they look pretty traditionally done, Good job.

Sorry, guys, but judging by the close-up at :45, these are not the real deal. "Iaito" in this sense refers to practice swords used in iaido. These have unsharpenable, zinc-beryllium blades. The telltale giveaway is the mirrorlike, wet-looking shininess of the blade. A true katana has a subdued look due to the steel's grain. The furnishings here are authentic, though--rayskin, silk, wood, etc.-- and usually high quality, unlike the cheap Chinese reproductions. I managed to get one of these iaito on Ebay for $15.00, because it was being sold as a "fake" sword, which technically it's not. They're quite beautiful in their own right, lighter than a true katana, and well-balanced. I think you can find them online, where you can choose the style of blade and then the fittings you prefer.

I don't know about harder steel and softer iron in one blade but if the carbon and clay tempering are perfectly arranged in the structure of the sword it makes a superb sword.
