![]() ![]() The end result is a design unlike any other, imbuing the sword with techno-biological aura. 3-D modeling system and Web3 technology, with parameters oriented towards maximizing the strength of the blade and comfort of the grip while minimizing the amount of materials used. Tachi’s design was created using a generative design A.I. The sword, called Tachi, is a joint project between Kawachi, U.S./Japan Web3 design company Final Aim, and Tokyo art organization Studio Shikumi. In fact, it wasn’t even designed by a human, but by an A.I. Kawachi is the one who physically made the sword, but he didn’t design it. In addition to its high-tech look, the swords has a high-tech backstory. That devotion to historical culture doesn’t mean Kawachi is incapable of doing modern things, though, and his latest blade looks like something that came from the future. Kunihira Kawachi is the current, 15th-generation Kawachinokami Kunisuke, channeling four centuries’ worth of tradition and technique into his blades. So while it was some 400 years ago that the original Kawachinokami Kunisuke was hammering out katana in the Osaka/Nara area, there’s still a swordsmith who goes by the same name today. In Japan, there’s a tradition that when a master artisan or craftsman retires, he passes on his name to his most talented apprentice.
