The blacksmith Satoshi Nakagawa is a relatively young blacksmith from Sakai, who has quickly gained a reputation as one of the most talented craftsmen in the very famous city of knives. He started teaching at shiraki Hamono at 18 after years of working at a sushi restaurant Shiraki-san always came on. Nakagawa apprenticed for 8 years and then took over the forge when Shiraki retired.
