[souljourner89]

although the only word I recognize is tamahagene I found this very fascinating. anywhere I can read about the process of japanese sword making?

İ don't know much but Miyairi school works in the style of Soshu-den.

So starting from this point theri swords can be a little more wider and in sosho kitae lamination as a swords of Soshu-den style.

Sorry if i am making a mistake but it is all i know and the rest is jsut logic.

thank you so much for the upload. this gives many important details that can't be seen other places. at 5:11 he uses a flux but it appears to be some kind of metallic substance, i'm curious as to what it is.

@enadon1 it might be borax which sometime might be used to prevent rusting between layers

El mejor trabajo que he visto, a fecha de hoy, faltan detalles como el momento del temple, pero da igual,es fantastico.

Son los maestros de la forja.

Thank you for once again uploading a fantastic video. One question, what are Miyairi blades most known for? Is there one or several traits that are common among his swords? Also, could you describe the more complex style of making the kawagane he used?
