I bought some great carbon steel knives from a little 1-man shop called Shigeharu in Kyoto a few years back. Supposedly dates from pre-1390. Feels like owning a piece of history. Was very much wondering what would happen to the shop in the future as the owner/knife-maker was quite elderly.

- GloriousKoji 6y agoHonestly the shop would just cease to exist. There was a local cake shop and a tofu shop near me that was passed down for generations. Saddly they both ceased to exist in my lifetime as there was no one to inherit the legacy. The cake shop eventually did reopen under new ownership but it's not as good.
