Where to get a Kamisori in Japan
Hello,
I am new to this place so I hope I posted in the right sub-forum.:angel:
In a few days I will leave for a 3 week trip to Japan and see cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, Kamikochi, Kawaguchi-go, Yufuin, Beppu, Kagoshima, Yakushima and Osaka. It will be my second trip to Japan. On my first trip I managed to get myself two 2 nice Aritsugu kitchen knives.
This time I would really love to buy myself a good Kamisori. I am new to this but I love the japanese culture so its not just about finding the best way to shve myself but having a good blade and following this beautifull tradition.
Eventhough it is a little expensive I would like to ask you if anyone knows a shop in any of those cities above where I can get a good kamisori. I heard those of Iwasaki seem to be among the best.
It would even be a greater pleasure if it was made of Tamahagane steel. But in the end it will be a question of the price. Anyone can help?
Thanks a lot and best wishes,
Andy
