sword making in Tokyo

[C Phillips]

Morning all,

I'm an assistant producer for a TV company in Bristol. We're hoping to do some filming in Japan in November for a documentary about Miyamoto Musashi and Samurai Culture. I'm currently trying to find a traditional sword maker in either Tokyo or Kyushu who might be prepared to let us film him at work. I'm also trying to find out as much as possible about the type of sword used by Musashi, as well as to corroborate rumours that he designed and/or made his own swords. Does anyone know anything abou this?

Any help or advice would be very much appreciated!
Thanks,
Catherine
