The Sun's Shadow Documentary

The Sun's Shadow Documentary explores the obscure subculture of American Craftsmen who create Japanese-style Swords (or Katana). These are a secluded "clan" of filial smiths scattered across the United States, plying their trade in blending traditional Japanese techniques with modernized materials and machinery. They seek to maintain the reverence of feudal Japanese metallurgy but also strive to produce results so faithful in presentation they could stand shoulder to shoulder with what these Swordsmiths achieved in a bygone era.
