Temporing the iron, the Japanese sword handed down from generation to generation is admired today both as a work of art and as a superb example of pre-industrial technology. In terms of temperature, carbon content, abrasives, the techniques used in forging the swords of old are said to be comparable to the modern techniques in manufacturing steel. This tradition of technological excellence continues to be followed in the industries of Japan today.
