ABOUT THE MAKER

Kiku Ichi Monji | 菊一文字 | Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture

Using the superb sword-making technique passed down through generations, Kiku Ichi Monji pledges to produce high-quality cutlery.

The name Kiku Ichi Monji comes from a unique engraved stamp by a sword smith Norimune. In the year 1208 the Emperor Gotoba gave permission to his sword smith Norimune to stamp the blade of each sword with the imperial chrysanthemum-crest. Norimune then engraved the number 1 below the crest. Thus the name Kiku Ichi Monji, chrysanthemum one, was created.
