Welcome to our session on the katana. I'm really looking forward to exploring this legendary sword with you, from its brilliant engineering to its deep cultural history.

To help me tailor our journey to exactly what you find most interesting, could you share a bit about what draws you to the katana? Let me know if you have any background in martial arts, or if you're particularly curious about a specific area like its forging process, history, or how the samurai used it.
