we were faced with the little rain
during our second day in Kochi but after
absolutely perfect weather the day
before we really couldn't complain
luckily we'd be spending the day inside
working with Hayashi son a local
blacksmith in the shimanto area using a
single piece of metal Hayashi son would
teach us step by step how to forge our
own knife
[Laughter]
Hayashi son has been working as a
blacksmith for over 17 years he makes a
living selling his handcrafted blades
and teaching workshops like this one you
could just tell he was so excited to
share his passion with us he encouraged
us to try our hand at each step of the
process and was there beside us to help
us out or answer our questions if we had
any
[Music]
she could mean if win-wins
yeah she means the 10th a child a child
of the wind yeah that sounds really good
thank you did you choose me oh my god
okay oh I see
wow that's awesome so that's how they do
it so he's just attaching the handle now
and then I think we're almost done
[Music]
it's okay smells like burning would like
a sauna
so people could easily heat treat
maddening ah ah hard in the night yes do
you also make katana haha you can't oh
that's your next step in your career
about five years really it takes five
years
oh that's really interesting people
oh okay you know maybe neither course
you got the medium porosity think I've
got it
you know what it is man ah okay though
they get their you know good about this
after a few lessons they have we look at
our are you putting it forward
yes i okay you are equal
okay so how can you tell it's 200
degrees oh you need a custom can you
make a pseudo your onion up there so
much tutorial is over then because you
don't know which katasonych a para
should I have another cue the difficulty
curve for machinery or not
aha so they they show the knee happy
though
so you're good lucky there another
I'm gonna get it Qaeda in the skull
because today they ship I start the hand
alone I'll finish
wow that's beautiful that's a nice
that's that was probably our fault don't
apologize we were quite bad but we had
fun we're all finished we made a nice
well sensei made a nice we we helped
it's probably our fault that it doesn't
cut very well but that's ok I had a good
time making it it was pretty neat to see
how much work went into making a knife I
always wondered why they cost so much
especially here in Japan there's lots of
very fancy knives at the kitchen store
and you wonder why they cost $100 this
is why it took hours to make this that
it sucks so imagine how long it takes to
make a good one good morning welcome to
day 3 in Kochi look at the weather look
at the way thank you guys
okay so yesterday we checked out the
pinky Yoho the weather report and it
said it was gonna be crap today it's
gonna be absolute crap and we thought
we're gonna have to cancel all our
activities and we were really sad about
it but it is clear it's sunny and that
means we're gonna go whale watching
which I'm really excited about because
I've actually never seen a whale in the
wild and neither has Mikayla excited so
really hopefully see something I know
it's not guaranteed we might not see
anything but I have hope because we were
so lucky with the weather yeah we're
gonna be lucky and see some whales I
don't get on the boat and do this I'm so
excited
hi can we say bye to our bus driver he's
so lovely wish she could come with us
I had like given up hope I didn't think
we were gonna go I know it's miracle
I'll miss you
after enjoying the rough waves possibly
a little too much we took a break and
took in the gorgeous scenery as we
ventured out into the middle of the
ocean in hopes of spotting some whales
[Music]
unfortunately the Wills were a little
shy today and we weren't able to see any
but the stunning views from the boat
really made the trip more than worth it
after we made it back to land we decided
to take advantage of the beautiful
weather and took a stroll through a park
located just a few minutes down the road
[Music]
it's so colorful oh my god it was a
really nice way to spend our last
afternoon in Kochi and the granite rock
formations made for some gorgeous photos
to remember our trip bye
