Kyo-hamono (Kyoto cutlery)
It began when an excellent blacksmith moved to the area with the transfer of the capital to the Heian period. Since then, many excellent blacksmiths have been produced, creating the tradition of today's Kyoto cutlery.
Currently, it is used to make carving blades, sickles, kitchen knives, etc., and it plays a major role as an essential tool in many traditional industries such as Nishijin-ori, Kyo-yaki, and Kiyomizu-yaki.
