What’s the best way to mark the rebirth of the oldest shrine in Japan, damaged by a earthquake? Obviously, it’s with a specially-made katana, forged with a unique alloy that doesn’t occur naturally on the earth that damaged the shrine. Unfortunately, this process can be particularly delicate and painstaking - and it’s not because the metal used for the sword is hard to find. A master blacksmith will have his work cut out for him with this particular piece!
