Japanese Sword Maker Video

A video piece about a sword maker. There’s only 30 of these artisans in Japan and Korehira Watanabe has been doing this for 40 years. The skill and craftsmanship to do something like this over a lifetime is always admirable. Watch and hopefully learn something from the video. It reminds me of the upcoming film, Jiro Dreams of Sushi.
