Bizen Osafune, which has been making Japanese swords, sacred treasures since ancient times. This paper knife is born in the workshop where those Japanese swords are made. A work of Mr. Kawashima, a swordsmith, who aims for the fusion of nature and humans, a work of art of fire and water. It has a very fine sharpness and a breathtakingly dignified and beautiful blade, as well as not only the purity and boldness, but also warmth and elegance. It is not only practical, but also a protective sword with the wish that it will protect you nearby. Many people, both domestically and internationally, purchase it as an item to "cut open your luck" as a gift. According to the swordsmith, "It can cut paper, but it cannot cut important relationships with people." For celebrations, weddings and funerals, life events, and important turning points in life. It was a product that was also available at the Osafune Sword Museum shop, but there are few other stores where you can currently purchase it. The price has been revised a few years ago due to rising raw material costs. 〈Story〉 Mr. Kawashima, the swordsmith, has been working with Japanese swords in Bizen Osafune for over 30 years, receiving various awards. In modern times, when few people invite Japanese swords into their homes as protective swords, he started making paper knives, hoping that a talisman (protective sword) that would be a spiritual pillar would be close at hand. Professionally, at the beginning of 2025, he was commissioned by Setouchi City to exhibit his Japanese swords and introduce Japanese culture in Paris. Japanese traditional culture is highly regarded in Europe. He wanted to cherish the skillful traditional techniques and the inheritance of truly good things, and that's how he came to introduce it to everyone. Please pick it up and experience the delicacy of the handwork, the weight of the steel, and the supple usability. 〈Delivery Specifications〉 On the back of the paper knife, as shown in the second and fourth photos, the swordsmith's name will be engraved on the back of the paper knife handle. It will be placed in a paper sheath and a paulownia box, and will be carefully packed for delivery. The box writing is at our discretion. You generally cannot choose the pattern of the paper sheath. We also accept custom orders for the engraving of the handle and the box writing, so please consult with us. 〈Other〉 Our store is an authorized dealer of the works based on a direct contract with Mr. Kawashima, the swordsmith. A documentary film about Mr. Kawashima's work has been completed and is scheduled to be released. Mr. Kawashima's swords will be exhibited at the Avex art event to be held in Tennozu from October 11th to 13th, 2025. #Ichijo #ichijo
