History:
Many talented blacksmiths started emerging during the late Heian to the Kamakura period and five producing districts-Yamato, Bizen, Yamashiro, Soushu, Mino-were established, each with their own style and technique in forging Japanese swords. In the Katana industry, these five areas became generically known as the “Gokaden” during the Meiji period(1868-1911). Then these kitchen knives emerged from these areas to reflect the traditional art of Japanese swords which are hand forged by skilled craftsman.
