Thanks for this video. Sometimes (not always) the old ways are best.
My furusato (hometown) is Sakai (same neighborhood as Sen No Rikyu.)
Sakai was first know for its swords, and later its arquebus. Now, it
makes kitchen knives, scissors and bicycles.
Below, a photo of my grandfather with armor and arquebus that's been
in the family for 18 generations (I think the swords were lost in the
firebombing of Osaka):
