His knives are certificated as a traditional craft by the governor of Miyagi Prefecture. However, this great technique will be fade away within ten years. Because He doesn't have an apprentice and there is no blacksmith except him in this area.

Nakaniida edged tools are said to have begun around 1661-1673(The Edo/Kanbun Era) when a master blade blacksmith from the Sendai Domain made sickles especially for the Nakaniida region, The edged tools of Nakaniida, originally the kitchen knives, are well-known for their sharpness and ease in handing.
Traditional Nakaniida knife is more than 300 years past. but Mr.Ishikawa is the last blacksmiths of Traditional Nakaniida knife in Kami-machi. Because there are no apprentices in kami-machi anymore. This art of making a kitchen knife in Kami-machi will die sooner or later. It's really sad.

宮城県伝統的工芸品 中新田打刃物 加美町

宮城県知事指定伝統的工芸品　中新田打刃物の製作映像です。
中新田打刃物は名刀の製作と同様、空打式で鋼を鍛えて焼き入れする伝統技術です。動画では分かりづらいかもしれませんが、３度の空打ちを行っています。

加美町に約３００年以上続くこの伝統技術も１１軒あった鍛冶屋がすでに１軒しか無く、その最後の１軒が4代目石川製作所です。後継者もおらず石川氏が最後の鍛冶職人です。

消え行くみちのくの鍛冶技術を１ヶ月密着して撮影し、アップロードしました。ぜひ、御覧ください。

追記
2017年に英国紳士が中新田打刃物を学びにやってきました。中新田打刃物の最後の職人　石川さんの最初で最後の生徒かと思われます。石川さん引退後、宮城県の伝統的工芸品はイギリスで生き続けるのかもしれません。
