昨年のふるさと納税で注文した兵庫県市川町の藤本技工の軟鉄アイアンとパターが届いた！

まさに刀を作って来た鋳鉄の技術の境地。

「Fujimoto」サインは海外向けのものに変えてもらい、フェースもマットブラックに塗り替えた。

使うのが楽しみです。

自分と同じ名前のメーカーのクラブを使う愉しみ。

日本だとあとは三浦さんと本間さんぐらいかなあ。笑。

The soft iron irons and putter I ordered last year through Japan’s furusato nozei program from Fujimoto Gikō in Ichikawa, Hyogo have finally arrived!

They truly represent the pinnacle of cast iron craftsmanship—rooted in techniques once used to forge Japanese swords. I had the “Fujimoto” signature changed to the version used for overseas markets, and the clubface refinished in matte black.

I can’t wait to put them into play. There’s something special about using clubs made by a manufacturer that shares your own name. In Japan, I suppose that leaves names like Miura and Honma—haha.
