The City of Blades - Seki City, Gifu Prefecture In the late Kamakura period to the early Muromachi period, the renowned swordsmith MotoShige moved from Kyushu to Seki City, marking the beginning of Seki's 800-year history in blade making. Seki City's abundance of "pine charcoal," high-quality "yakiba-tsuchi" (clay for quenching), and the clear waters of the Nagaragawa and Tsumago rivers attracted numerous swordsmiths, establishing Seki as Japan's premier blade production center. Furthermore, Seki blades possess significant artistic value. Swords crafted using the unique "Seki-den" forging technique are highly regarded for their "hard texture, resistance to breakage, and unwavering sharpness." The swordsmithing craft and spirit cultivated in Seki have been passed down through generations over long periods, positioning Seki as one of the world's top three cutlery production centers. These everyday items are not only indispensable tools but also substantial works of art that deserve notice. Whether used as tools or displayed as collectibles, we believe they will bring greater comfort and enjoyment to our lives.
