Watch the Smiths at That Works Forge Tanjiro's Blade from DEMON SLAYER with Traditional Methods
If you enjoy watching blacksmiths at work and don’t already watch That Works on YouTube, you’re missing out. In a recent episode, Ilya Alekseyev used traditional Japanese forge methods to create Tanjiro’s katana from the popular anime Demon Slayer.
This build took the team approximately 6 months to build and this video is unique in the fact that we get to see how every part of the blade is made. This video is such a treat to watch and it’s fascinating to hear Alekseyev talk about how Japanese art and bladesmithing connects to other forms of art and anime.
