Put on the light version of haori (Japanese kimono-style jacket) provided by the crew to protect your clothes from accidental stains. Sit down, have some tea or juice (variety of soft drinks available) and learn the cultural aspects and history behind Japanese knives and swords from friendly Japanese master. Choose the type of the blade you`d love to sharpen this time (up to 5 types of knives available, some of them are for a small additional charge) and the size of the knife. Sharpen the blade and become a master of a meditative process which takes a lot of concentration and perfectly relieves stress. Several english-speaking crew members are always there to sustain an intimate chat and correct the movements. You`ll get an opportunity to engage into friendly conversations with natives while polishing your knife making skills and getting a personalized advice. Engrave your name in Japanese letters on the handle and attach it usung a traditional hammer to make the work of art complete. If you decide to come with a friend or family member to observe the experience (not participate in it), we will kindly ask to pay an observation fee on site.
