How Tamahagane (Japanese steel) was made, video by Life were I'm from.

As Japan did not have many iron ore deposits, it had for a long time to rely on more available satetsu 砂鉄 (ironsand, carried for ex. by rivers). Ironsand was then processed in special furnaces called tatara to make prized tamahagane 玉鋼 (traditional Japanese steel, used among other things to forge swords).

If you've seen Princess Mononoke, you know exactly how tatara forge could look like thank to Lady Eboshi's Iron Town:

i kinda have this headcanon that tatara has a website out there somewhere, one that isn't easy to find, dedicated to the documentation of ghoul genealogy in china and hong kong. it's purposefully made uneasy to find so it doesn't fall right into the CCG's lap. i think that he gets his knowledge through finding communities of chinese ghouls on encrypted websites and talking with the people on there. he's messaged with hundreds of people over the internet in trying to find information about ghoul bloodlines in china.

it's also really important to him because it's one of the only places in his life he still gets to use his knowledge of mandarin anymore. everyone in these communities writes in mandarin at pretty much all times and it's really a breath of fresh air for him, because i remember there being some side thing in tokyo ghoul about how written japanese gives him a headache. he has a rather old and used laptop that he uses for all of this. he's very much a no nonsense, no frivolousness type of person, so he doesn't care much about keeping up with the latest technology. the used laptop gets the job done and that's all that really matters to him.

i think that either on this website, or on another website that the genealogy documentation website links to, he has some stuff online dedicated to preserving the history of the chi she lian as well. he's the last remaining person who was apart of it and he feels immense grief over the extinction of it. he wants its existence to be known of even after he passes, no matter how near or far in the future that may be. i think that no one he knows personally really knows of the existence of these websites, but not necessarily because he's hiding it from them (he is pretty much surrounded by only ghouls after all). it's more so the fact that he's not often asked about personal activities or inner workings. i think if anyone were to know, it would be eto, because she does inquire about these things more than say ayato or hinami would, even if she doesn't do it frequently.

as for another online activity, one that requires far less encryption, i think tatara plays Go online. he prefers to play it in person but this is another thing that can only be entertained by eto. they play together sometimes but not very often at all. i think he plays online as a way to relax when he gets a short bit of time away from aogiri duties.

idk i love thinking about him!!
