The Origin of Craftsmanship
-
While preserving the techniques passed down through generations, I want to leave behind even better knives for future generations through my own innovations.
-
I have a strong desire to protect our traditional craftsmanship while adding my own improvements, creating superior knives that will benefit future generations. I believe that a craftsman's role is not merely to inherit tradition, but to refine it and pass it on in a form that suits new generations. My mission is to continue creating knives that will be cherished by someone in the future, carefully maintaining both the skills and spirit that have been cultivated over many years. This is what I consider my life's purpose.
