Product Introduction

Smithy's of Ancient Japan fell into two categories, the Okaji and the Kokaji.
The Okaji created the iron, while the Kokaji crafted the iron.
The Ancient Japanese Performance Art of Noh features a play about a sword kokaji, or Katana Kokaji,who receives a Royal Command to craft a sword of unique worth and sharpness. At first unable to execute this order, he offers homage at a shrine, finds the will and is ultimately divinely assisted in the
completion of his duty.
The Keiun Kokaji is the accumulation of forging and lamination technologies and experience developed over years of meticulous craftsmanship. In the spirit of the Katana Kokaji, we see it as our royal duty to handcraft every shear with an edge of unique worth and sharpness.
