〜The Way of the Brush〜

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 fullest.

〜The Way of the Brush〜

Along with the martial arts, many other arts flourished, including calligraphy, tea ceremony, tea bowls, poetry, incense, and Noh drama, and a samurai needed to have knowledge of both the sword and the brush in order to be seen as a cultured gentleman.

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.

〜The Way of the Brush〜

Along with the martial arts, many other arts flourished, including calligraphy, tea ceremony, tea bowls, poetry, incense, and Noh drama, and a samurai needed to have knowledge of both the sword and the brush in order to be seen as a cultured gentleman.

The sword is the soul of the samurai; it cannot be sold even if it starves to death.

Bushido made the sword a symbol of his power and valor. From an early age, one is taught how to use a sword. He started with a wooden sword, and when he reached the age of 15, he was allowed to carry a serious weapon. At that time, he became aware of his self-respect and sense of responsibility for carrying a dangerous weapon in the street.

A samurai is a man of letters and a man of martial arts, studying both arts.

For the Samurai, the way of literature and the way of martial arts are like two wheels on one wheel. Samurai honor, which believes that the way of literature and the way of martial arts are two sides of the same coin, aims at the path of both literature and martial arts through two experiences: Samurai tea ceremony and Samurai calligraphy.

〜 Guided Tour of Osaka Castle with Samurai who Respected Bushido
(The plan is to make a pilgrimage in memory of the Samurai in their warlike armor and helmets to this sad and sacred place until the defeat and fall of the castle in the Osaka battle, the last great battle of the Samurai).

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.

「とよのコスモスの里」でこの写真を撮影させていただきました。
満開のコスモスがとても綺麗でしたが、その一方で、花弁が散り、残り一枚になっても力強く花弁を広げるコスモスの様子がとても儚く、魅力的に感じたので写真に収めようと思いました。

小さい秋見つけた！

コキアは少し赤くなっていました。季節の変わり目を感じました。

<The way of the Samurai is death.>
Loyalty: the attitude of risking one's life to convey one's way of thinking to the wrong way of thinking of one's lord. Loyalty was not something that was forced upon the samurai, but something that was voluntary.
In Bushido, one dies beautifully with these things in mind.

〜both the literary and military arts〜

A samurai is a man of letters and a man of martial arts, studying both arts.
For the Samurai, the way of literature and the way of martial arts are like two wheels on one wheel. Samurai honor, which believes that the way of literature and the way of martial arts are two sides of the same coin, aims at the path of both literature and martial arts through two experiences: Samurai tea ceremony and Samurai calligraphy.

The spirit of the Samurai is a way of life and death, a way of letting go of attachment to life and living in this lifetime. Through Samurai honor, students acquire the spirit of Bushido.

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.
