Highlights
This workshop allows you to create a decorative Japanese short sword from the blade to the final design. Experience zinc-alloy casting, then choose your own scabbard, handle, guard, ornaments and cord from a wide variety of colors and traditional patterns. Every combination is different, making your finished sword truly one of a kind. With guidance from an experienced instructor, beginners can enjoy the process safely while learning about sword construction, craftsmanship and the end of the samurai era. Best of all, you can take your handmade creation home—not as an ordinary souvenir, but as a lasting memory of Kyoto.

About Kyoto
Kyoto, Japan's imperial capital for over a thousand years, is a city of temples, gardens, wooden townhouses and refined traditions.
The city holds many of Japan's most treasured sites. Fushimi Inari Taisha's thousands of vermilion torii gates climb a wooded mountain, Kinkaku-ji's Golden Pavilion shimmers over its pond, and Kiyomizu-dera's wooden stage juts from the hillside above the city. The rock garden of Ryoan-ji and the mossy grounds of Ginkaku-ji invite quiet contemplation.
Top-ranked sights in Kyoto: Fushimi Inari Shrine (Fushimi Inari Taisha), Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
