Highlights
Design and build your own knife in the heart of Nara. In this hands-on workshop at Musashi, you choose a blade and a handle from your selection, then craft and assemble your very own knife under the guidance of an experienced instructor. This is full customization from start to finish — no two knives are the same, and yours is yours to keep. Your instructor walks you through every step: selecting your components, a safety briefing, the technique, and the assembly process itself. If you'd like, you can add a personal engraving before the blade and handle are joined. By the end, you'll leave with a knife you made with your own hands — plus expert tips on how to care for it, store it, and travel with it safely. Perfect for travelers looking for a unique, hands-on Japanese craft experience and a truly personal souvenir.

About Nara
Nara, in the Kansai region, was Japan's capital in the eighth century and is now a city of great Buddhist temples and free-roaming deer.
Nara was the capital, Heijo-kyo, from 710 to 784, and its monuments from that age make up a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Todai-ji temple houses a bronze Great Buddha in one of the largest wooden buildings in the world. Around it spreads Nara Park, where more than a thousand sika deer roam freely and bow for crackers sold at stalls.
