Making Tanjiro's Katana from Demon Slayer by Ilya Alekseyev using traditional Japanese methods to bring Tanjiro's Katana to life.

This Video is shot more as a Katana making documentary then a normal episode from us. During the making of the Tanjiro's Katana Ilya give quite a few talks about how anime relates to the art of Japanese sword making and how it effected the western culture as far back as the Renaissance and continues to do so today. In Demon Slayer this Nichirin Blade has a blackened color to it after Tanjiro wields it. So, after a hand stone polish the katana was then darkened using acid and the hamon was then finger stoned back into place. The Katana was forged from Tamahagane and made as close to tradition as possible. In this video we show every last piece of the sword being made even the Saya and the pieces that go with it. If you want to see a Katana making video that shows every single step then this is the one for you!
