Tatara - The Making of Tamahagane

An older feature video showcasing the Shimane Tatara in Japan. Abe Sensei still led things back then and Kihara is featured as his protege.
The video is great because it shows just how much work is involved to actually produce the base material to any Japanese sword and helps provide insight into why its so revered.

    The beauty of the Katana is how it’s made.

    I have some tamahagane from NBTHK back when he was in charge. They call the smelter a "Dragon" and the steel "Dragon's Egg".

    To be fair, it was a 5th century furnace. Just a demonstration of historical smelting technology.

    Much fun to watch, but a bit difficult for us uneducated Americans to follow when it's all in Nihongo. English subtitles would be a big help.

    +Ymus Anon Yes and No, This exact method?, no, But one that is exactly the same in terms of what it makes and the physics behind it?, Yes, they've been around since iron has been smelted. You'll want to look for bloomery smelting.
