Due to the great deal of interest in Japanese swordsmithing, the July 20-24 Basic Forging Course, as well as the September 7-11 Basic Forging Course, have both been filled. Due to interest, we did schedule an October Basic Forging Course on October 12-16, and space does remain at this time.
There are also still spaces remaining in the August 7-9 Oroshigane Seminar.
For those interested in a differnt course or wish to attend a Basic Forging Course, but the October course does not work for your schedule, this coming winter we will schedule the 2010 school year for Tomboyama Nihonto Tanren Dojo, which is planned to run from April to October.


I have been looking for a way to learn basic swordsmithing for quite some time. I am a freshman in high school and I would like to know where the best place to get ” swordsmithing equipment” would be and how much it would cost to get it. Please contact me by e-mail.
-Thank You!
