It's finally getting cooler in Kyoto! I'm very excited autumn here!!
My brother is getting married, and he was thinking about getting a surprise gift for a bride at their wedding party.
He decided to make a knife which she can use everyday as a surprise present.
He wanted me to video record and take pictures while he made it to make a short movie which will be shown in a party.
Takefu knife village locates in Fukui prefecture.
It took about 2 and half hours by a car.
As soon as we arrived there, we could hear the sound of hitting iron plates.
Now he is getting briefed on operation for the day.
I was taking lots of pictures and taping the process of it.
It much more difficult that what it looks, he mentioned.
He was very serious to fight with heat and machines for her!
A piece of iron plate needs to be heated again and again to keep it soft.
Then it will be cut to the shape of a knife. He also curve a massage on it.
After that it needs to be sharpened.
Then...
Finally, all the process is done!!
After 6 hours taking pictures and videos, I was exhausted.
It was very my first time to see how kitchen knives are made. Taking best shots were not very fun, however it was very interesting to see a knife was getting shaped.
