I went to a very small katana museum in osaka. It was actually home of person who makes "that finishing touch" to katanas, polishes them and so on. so let's get to the pictures!

different types of stones, all used for polishing

the sword he was working on, you can small bits of stone he is using now

once more the sword he was working on.
it apparently takes about two weeks to polish the katana. cool, isn't it?
ok, to the next update!
Sakari: I didn't ask for price, but I guess it depends a lot. probably something like 1000 euros and up.
Fascinating, did you ask for a price?
