One of the last swordsmiths, Korehira Watanebe dedicated 40 years to the ancient craft. In this installment of Etsy’s Handmade Portraits series, Watanebe discusses his introduction to the world of swordmaking, how his relationships shaped his career path, and the neverending inspiration he gathers from his surroundings. He is still very attached to his traditions, and this dedication to tradition and craft is a testament to his great spirit and is an inspiration for many of us.
