In Love with the Samurai Sword (NHK documentary on sword polishing)
Above: In early 2014 Pablo Kuntz, founder of Unique Japan, was approached by NHK Enterprises in Japan to take part in a 50-minute documentary on the fine art of Japanese sword polishing. A craft that truly deserves greater appreciation. Renowned sword polisher Sasaki-sensei and his skilled apprentices, specifically Yuichi-san who worked hard on a beautiful Yasusada wakizashi that was submitted for polishing. The documentary was aired online globally on Sunday August 24th, 2014.
