Description
About This Game
Feudal Japan. The period of war... also known as Sengoku Jidai. You are a Japanese swordsmith, or Katanakaji, if you will. You have started your own forge. The warlords need katana for their samurai and campaigns. Right now, you are a nobody. But you have heard the calling of your destiny.
You will become a legendary swordsmith and your name will be heard throughout all of Japan!
The katanakaji has one job: to forge the very best katana a craftsman can make. From tamahagane to a billet, you will hammer out your metal to take shape. Upon the blade, you will choose your hamon and clay the blade. You will find the perfect temperature to reheat your blade, and then submerge it in water for the quench. Will the blade survive? Or will it fail? You will polish your blade to perfection and reveal your creation! But your work is not done...
You will have many fittings at your fingertips. Tsuba, habaki, seppa, tsuka, ito, menuki, fuchi and kashira, and the saya will come together to form a national treasure. But you must increase your skill to create the most perfect, deadly, work of art.
Katanakaji is a cozy, warm forge built from the ground up, just like the katana you will create. You do not have to become a metallurgy expert to create beauty.
