Why Japanese swords are so expensive

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.

Becoming a swordsmith in Japan takes a 5 year apprentiship, and there are only around 180 working smiths today. Japanese sword making is a tradition that goes back centuries, and one that's carried on to this day. Master Akihira has been making swords for 21 years. He was inspired by a sword made by the legendary 13th century swordsmith Masamune. And after a 5 year apprenticeship and years of training he became one of the 180 sword smiths working across Japan.

Each sword is a unique artwork, and one that is made to be admired as you would a painting. As sheets of steel are folded into each other again and again wood grain like patterns form, and these patterns coupled with the skill of the sword master create a completely unique blade.
