This era is characterized by a time of peace under the Tokugawa shogunate, leading to significant developments in the arts and culture, including the refinement of sword-making techniques. Swords from this period were known for their exquisite craftsmanship, intricate decorations, and the symbolic importance they held for the samurai class.

How the Edo Period Wakizashi is forged
This iconic Japanese sword is traditionally forged using a meticulous and time-intensive process. The blade is typically made from a combination of iron sands and charcoal that has been smelted in a traditional furnace. The steel is then repeatedly heated, folded, and hammered to remove impurities and create a strong, durable blade with a sharp edge.
The resulting sword is not only a functional weapon, but also a work of art that embodies the rich cultural history of Japan.
