If you would like to know the true appeal of the Japanese sword, I urge you to go to a sword shop, take it in your hands, and see for yourself.

2. How the Japanese sword is made
First, the materials for the Japanese sword are made from iron sand. In particular, iron sand from the Izumo region has been used for ages to make the materials for the Japanese sword. Putting this iron sand through low-temperature reduction smelting produces "tamahagane," the raw materials for the Japanese sword. Next, the tamahagane is spread thin and goes through the following process: tamaheshi (pressing the raw materials)⇒tsumiwakashi (heating the pressed materials into a single, uniform mass)⇒orikaeshitanren (repeated folding of the materials to stiffen). This process removes impurities from the steel, and hardens it to the appropriate firmness for a sword.
