Seki Japanese Sword Making Demonstration

When M arrived he had one non-negotiable place he wanted to go during his stay, Seki a city famous for its history of sword and knife making. Conveniently Seki is located only 60km from my apartment so last weekend we drove to the Swordsmith Museum to see a demonstration of Japanese sward making. I have never been interested in knives or swords, but I still found the demonstration worthwhile.

The Seki Swordsmith Museum and the Cutlery Hall ended up being interesting places I purchased a cooking knife, that I am still mostly afraid to use, and got a vegetable peeler as a surprise free gift.

An unexpected highlight of the trip was the view of the cherry trees along a nearby river.
