[Sword making is the art of sword-making and the self] Interview with swordsmith Kawashima Kazushiro Kawashima Ichijo

-Why did you decide to become a swordsmith?

Kawashima: "My family business was blacksmithing, making blades, so ever since I was a child I had dreamed of making a blade, a king's sword."

- So sword making was something you were familiar with. What do you find rewarding about being a swordsmith?

Kawashima : "A sword made with love and care becomes a protective sword. I would be delighted if I could make a beautiful sword that would bring joy to my customers, and if owning it would bring them happiness. My goal is to make such swords, and I find this rewarding."

-What do you consider important when making a sword?

Kawashima : "I always keep in mind the importance of doing my work carefully. I've learned that careful work conveys the passion and energy that goes into the work."

-What does the sword mean to you, Mr. Kawashima?

Kawashima : "I think that making a sword and training yourself are the same thing. For me, sword making is the art of sword-making, and the work I create is myself."

-Finally, please tell us your goals as a swordsmith.

Kawashima : "I want to make as many swords as possible. I want to leave behind beautiful works."
