Today, 800 years after the time of the samurai, Bushido is still the spiritual prop of the Japanese people and still influences the politeness and manners of the Japanese people.

Some aspire to Bushido from childhood, learning calligraphy and tea ceremony as spiritual training to become a respectable adult like a samurai, and swordsmanship as training in the martial arts.

In the past, a "respected person" was called a "samurai. Others in general are simply samurai.

Those who have learned bushido from abroad and aspire to become "Samurai" will be wielding Samurai swords tonight.

The average life expectancy a samurai in the Warring States period is said to be about 42 years.
The average life expectancy for men in Japan today is about 81.5 years, and 87.6 years for women.

With only about half the time compared to today's life expectancy, these Samurai ran through an era when they did not know what tomorrow's life would bring...

It is hard to remember that one step outside the doorway is the world of death.

- Students will learn the basic stance of the katana.

1) Middle stance
2) Upper stance
3) Lower stance
4) Eight-phase stance
(5) Side stance

- From these stances, swing the sword.
Swing. Swing. Swing. When swinging down, do not use your arm strength, but swing with the weight of the sword. If you are swinging correctly, you will know if you are swinging correctly because you will hear a "hirun" sound.
#katana #samuraiSword #bushido #kimono

When children learn calligraphy, they learn to write beautifully. The benefits are especially great if they start learning before they start developing habits, so if they start by around age 5, they may have beautiful writing for a lifetime.
In addition, calligraphy, as an ancient Japanese art, also teaches manners such as greetings and respect.

First, we will explain what calligraphy is, followed by an explanation of attitudes and tools first.
You will better understand the difference between calligraphy as a form of character decoration (caligraphy), which also exists overseas, and Japanese "shodo" (calligraphy).
Calligraphy is a traditional Japanese culture that uses brush and ink to express characters artistically, and is appreciated for its neatness, the way the brush is carried, the shade of the ink, and the beauty of the overall arrangement of the characters.

#samuraisword #bushido

The only souvenir that can make you feel "Japanese".

Calligraphy has a delicate sense of beauty, and the subtle changes in fine lines, dots and shading enhance its beauty.
There is also an aesthetic sense of stillness, and it is important to keep the mind quiet and focused when writing. It is also essentially about basic manners, such as sitting upright, keeping a straight back and holding the brush upright. The fan, which is still familiar to Japanese people as a tool that appears at milestones in life, and calligraphy on hanging scrolls, which are traditional Japanese works of art, are very popular among foreigners, as they are decorated in an appropriate manner and can be displayed in tokonoma (alcove) and other places.

SamuraiCalligraphy

戦国時代、世を死と隣り合わせに駆け抜けたサムライとその妻たちが、死に際（死を覚悟）に儚くも美しい書を遺した。

During the Warring States period, samurai and their wives, who ran through the world side by side with death, left behind ephemeral but beautiful calligraphy on their deathbeds (prepared to die).

#SamuraiCalligraphy

Deathbed calligraphy is something a person writes down with a brush as their last words in this world when they foresee their death and look back on their life so far.

Samurai become 

For those of us living in today's busy world, learning about the samurai spirit can give us insight into our attitude, attention and focus, and foster the determination needed to achieve our goals to the best of our ability.
We must not only carefully consider the words of the Samurai, but we must also act on them.
#katana #samuraisword #bushido

Bushido

Samurai are born aware of their "honor"
The goal of the aspiring samurai was not wealth or knowledge, but honor.

Honor is a goal to be pursued "within oneself," without regard to profit or loss. Therefore, "honor" that is concerned with public reputation is not real honor.

〜I have found that bushido means to die〜

SAMURAI Armor

Samurai fought fair and square in one-on-one battles, which was the samurai way of fighting. During this time, it was not acceptable for the adversary to initiate a fight. If they did, they were considered "cowards.

#osakacastle #samurai #calligraphy #teaceremony #katana

Honoring the Samurai girl

The more onago is bullshit, the more the world will be bullshit.

The stronger you are, the calmer you will be. 

The more you can hang your head and bow low, the more genuine nobility and strength you will acquire.

In Hinomotoichi's Calligraphy Trial Plan, students do not pick up a brush and start writing immediately after the lesson begins.
Instead, we begin by explaining about the culture of calligraphy and the history of calligraphy in Japan.
This is because it helps them to better understand the difference between Japanese calligraphy and caligraphy, which is a form of character decoration that also exists in other countries, and to appreciate the beauty of the Japanese language.
