〜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.

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 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.

<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.

Honoring the Samurai girl

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

I have found that bushido means to die

He was willing to die for a certain purpose. If you always act with the intention of dying every morning and evening, and if you are willing to die, you will be able to fulfill your family duties without fail for the rest of your life.
