yup.... i also looked into it, and this knife was "sobakiri bocho"!

thank you everyone :) i'm feeling a lot better, and trying to get things done as much as possible.... we are very excited about having a family, but having no prior experience, everything is pretty worrisome. i'm so grateful that everyone here is really supportive of us. thanks again!

.... i want to put my name on a waiting list for diamond necklace and ring.

It says "Japan. Made by Kawamura" (just as people before me already pointed out), and on the back of the blade it says "white"

mike, thank yo so much for hosting us today. it was really a fun and memorable time :) we are all lucky to have you - you bring this community together!

Mike- Thank you for hosting the gathering again this year.... maybe I can bring a variety of onigiri this year. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help! Looking forward to it.

"it's just Japan after all" attitude, I think, can sometimes really hurt though :( Setting a bad example (even though yourself wouldn't be yelled at or anything) can hurt everyone else from foreign countries as well. I always think just showing up is not just rude but offensive.

yup I'm on the same page... Especially with this type of font (that is commonly used and not particularly crazily artistic), I tend to consider this typo.

Zojirushi Rice Cooker wins! Can't live without it.

Maybe it was supposed to be "魂" (Tamashii/Spirit)?? It's missing just one stroke though. Or I could be a stupid one and not knowing this particular kanji - in that case, I apologize :(

I'm really liking my 240mm white #2 wa-gyuto and 150mm stainless wa-petty :) 240mm is manageable and i think leaning how to work with this knife made cooking more efficient. I found that thin and light japanese knives feel great, and not as intimidating.... :) ! If it is a thicker and heavier...

Chefdog- So glad that the knife got there safely and that it seems the knife is working out well for you. We spent a lot of time developing Gesshin Kagero knives and I'm really happy to see our effort paid off :)

kidney stone sucks.... so sorry to hear that. Let's hope it'll never happen again!

.... i think you have to be crazy to be an artist of any kind.
