FUJIWARA KNIFES
After falling in love with hand engraving, Asamura Takao faced a choice between jewelry-making and dedicating his life to mastering the traditional art of sword engraving. In 1969, at age 20, he chose the latter and has honed his craft ever since.
Asamura emphasizes that mastering the chisel requires experience, granting the freedom to create blades of exceptional beauty. This freedom, however, is elusive, as traditional Japanese techniques are fading, with fewer opportunities to learn them.
THE BEUTY OF
DAMASCUS BLADES
Inspired by his predecessors, Asamura continually challenges himself to learn and innovate, despite frustrations that hinder smooth progress. For him, designing a knife is a process of trial and error, with the final result only revealed through practice.
A key influence on his engraving is the Japanese art of HAIGA, which combines a short poem with a single image. He believes this philosophy perfectly complements his work, particularly in engraving 24-carat gold.
