original カナヤゴ
The title “Kanayago” is derived from the deity of ironmaking known as “Kanayago-no-kami.” The protagonist’s name is “Kanami,” and in ancient times, craftsmen who worked with iron were collectively referred to as “Kanaya” (blacksmiths). With this in mind, the name ‘Kanayago’ also carries the meaning of “Child of a Blacksmith.”
