A Closer Look at Kenshibu, a Traditional Japanese Performing Art Source :YouTube screenshot The history of Ginkenshibu, the traditional Japanese performing art introduced in the video, dates back more than 100 years, and is said to have started when a samurai in the Edo period (1603-1868) danced whilst holding a sword. It was not until the Meiji period (1868-1912) that Hibino Raifu shaped the style of the current sword dance based on the forms used in Japanese swordsmanship. In most cases, different characters are in charge of the sword dance, which is performed brilliantly with the movements of kenjutsu and iaijutsu, and the poetry dance, which incorporates the techniques of Chinese poetry, Japanese Waka poetry, shigin, and Japanese music. The performance may be performed by two people who do the sword dance and poetry dance or done by a large number of performers. The characteristic of the traditional Japanese performing art, Kenshibu, is that swords and fans are used in the performances. Performers of the traditional performing art, Kenshibu, are required to have the spirit of Bushido, the spirit and dignity of a samurai.

Introducing Tezuma/Wazuma This video, titled "Taijyu Fujiyama / 藤山大樹 江戸から続く日本伝統マジック「手妻・和妻」の継承者～," was created by "Taijyu Fujiyama." The video shows a magic show performed by the famed tezuma magician Taiju Fujiyama. Come and immerse yourself in this world of Japanese culture and history. What Is Japan’s Traditional Magic, Wazuma? Source :YouTube screenshot The Wazuma/Tezuma introduced in this video, is a traditional magic unique to Japan, involving a combination of acting, music, costumes, and a story. "Wazuma" is the general term used for all Japanese-style magic tricks. The term “shinadama (品玉)” is used as well. In contrast to wazuma, Western-style performance magic is also known as "yozuma" (洋妻). The word “tezuma” originates from the phrase "手を稲妻の様に素早く動かす" (te wo inazuma no yo ni subayaku ugokasu, "to move one's hands as fast as lightning"). "wazuma" has a long history, first appearing in 1715 in the Shinsen Gijutsu, (神仙戯術), Japan’s oldest book of magic. The book contains descriptions of techniques such as “how to make a bottle gourd move on its own” and “how to make an artificial fish swim in water.” Significant wazuma magic tricks include "Dance of the Butterflies" (胡蝶の舞, kocho no mai), "Egg and Sleeve" (袖玉子, sode tamago), "Hyoko" (ヒョコ, hyoko), "Bowl and Sphere" (お椀と玉, owan to tama), "Entwined Paper" (連理の紙, renri no kami), "Bathtub Escape" (釜抜け術, kama-nuke-jutsu), "Fan and Egg" (扇子玉子, sensu tamago), "Paper Udon" (紙うどん, kami udon), "Tengu Hiding Beans" (天狗の豆隠し, tengu no mame-kakushi), "Absent Pillar" (柱抜き, hashira-nuki), "Water Art" (水芸, mizu-gei), "Horse-Swallowing Illusion" (呑馬術, donbajutsu), and more. From 0:37 in the video, you can see some of these tricks. The tools and props used in the performances, such as Japanese umbrellas and folding fans, are further representations of Japanese culture. This traditional performance magic has long been beloved in Japan. On 24th May, 1997, wazuma was designated an Intangible Cultural Property by the Commissioner for Cultural Affairs. Who Is the Magician Taiju Fujiyama? Source :YouTube screenshot Taiju Fujiyama is one of the few remaining practitioners of wazuma. After graduating from university in 2010, he became an apprentice of Fujiyama Shintaro, and thus began the journey to becoming a wazuma practitioner. His master Fujiyama Shintaro is renowned in the world of wazuma, having thrice received the Media Arts Festival Award from the Agency of Cultural Affairs. After working hard practicing under his master and polishing his skills, Taiju Fujiyama became the Asian Magic Champion in 2014, then achieved 5th place at the world tournament FISM in 2015. Following that, Fujiyama ventured worldwide, holding stunning performances in America, London, Italy, Mexico, China, Korea and more. Now, he has performed in more than 20 cities in over 10 countries. In 2018, he performed a magic trick involving seven changes on the American television program "FoolUs." The video of his performance has surpassed more than 13 million views. Preserving the Unique Japanese Culture of Wazuma in the Present Day Source :YouTube screenshot Wazuma was first created during the Edo period, and developed into Japan’s unique form of performance magic. However, today, there are very few performers left who are able to perform authentic wazuma while maintaining the balance of movements, dance elements, and ancient customs. Although it is a tremendously difficult challenge to protect this intangible art form, wazuma successors like Taiju Fujiyama aim to convey the beauty of this traditional Japanese art to the entire world. Summary of Tezuma and Wazuma Source :YouTube screenshot Tezuma/Wazuma is a unique form of performance magic blending both traditional performing arts with magic tricks. This style is based on the Japanese concept of beauty as form, making it quite different from Western magic. Why not give this new style of magic a try, and experience one of Japan’s long-beloved traditions? 【Official Homepage】「wazuma・tezuma」Fujimura Taiju Official Site ～Japan’s Traditional Magic from the Edo Period～ http://www.japanesemagic.jp/eng.html

About the video of the Type 10 tank that went on a rampage at the Nerima Garrison This video is titled "Type 10 Tank Rampage! Nerima Garrison Memorial Event Type10 MBT"（10式戦車大暴れ！ 練馬駐屯地記念行事 Type10 MBT). It was taken by "kinokopack," at the exhibition for the Type 10 tank at the Nerima Garrison Memorial Event held at Nerima Garrison. The Type 10 tank is a Japanese main battle tank that was manufactured at a development cost of 48.4 billion yen (~$455m USD). You can see the powerful, dexterous movement of the tank in the video. If you like tanks or other war machines then you don't want to miss out on this video. In this article, we'll introduce the Type 10 tank that appeared at the Nerima Garrison event. Be sure to follow along with the video! Japan's Type 10 Tank: Features and Capability Source :YouTube screenshot The Type 10 tank is a fourth-generation domestic tank, the successor to the Ground Self Defense Force Type 90. The Ministry of Defense's Technology ＆ Research Division is in charge of its development, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is responsible for its production. The Type 10 tank has incredibly high firepower, defenses, and mobility, and is an overall well-rounded tank. The main gun is a domestic .44 caliber 120 mm smooth-bore cannon. The shells are a new domestic armor-piercing round characterized by their high penetration. In the video, you can see footage of the Type 10 tank rampaging at the Nerima garrison. From 3:50 in the video, you can also see how it was made at the venue and its hill-climbing ability. The Type 10 tank is also equipped with an air conditioner for cooling the electronic equipment, but not the passengers. As tanks generally run with the windows open, it doesn't make much sense to equip an air conditioner for passengers, and it seems that cooling suits are often used when it's hot. The fuel consumption of the Type 10 tank is not disclosed as they are military secrets. The purchase price is 950 million yen per tank, and seeing as they are weapons, cannot be purchased by civilians. You can make high quality plastic models of Type 10 tanks, radio-controlled models and model cars as well. Why not give them a try? What Is Nerima Garrison?

Kamikiri: The Art and its Origins This video is titled "Kamikiri (Yose)" (紙切り（寄席）), and it was created by “bunkachannel”. Rakugo is a traditional Japanese culture. Yose refers to the theater where rakugo takes place. But did you know that besides rakugo, there’s another performance called “kamikiri,” introduced in this video, that is conducted in a yose? “Kamikiri” is an impromptu performance where the performer cuts out paper according to the theme provided by the audience. Its roots are in the Edo period (1603-1868), where it was performed as entertainment for banquets, and it was established as a performing art in the Meiji period (1868-1912). It truly is a piece of art, made with just a single pair of scissors. It is a traditional performing art that is popular among foreigners as well. Watch a 3-minute video of this historic Japanese traditional performing art that is not only beautiful but also funny. Masters of Kamikiri: Shoraku Hayashiya and Niraku Hayashiya Source :YouTube screenshot The two performers in this video are Shoraku Hayashiya and Niraku Hayashiya, both famous for their skills in kamikiri. Shoraku is a kamikiri master, and he performs on television programs as well as at theaters in Asakusa (浅草, Asakusa) and Ueno (上野, Ueno). He performs not just in yose, but in theaters in and out of Japan. At 1:09 in the video, you can see a kamikiri of a man and women sharing an umbrella, a type of kamikiri Shoraku is particularly skilled at. Be sure to check it out! His apprentice, Mr. Niraku, has also inherited his master’s skills and traditions, and has gained popularity through his storytelling-based kamikiri. There’s no need for complicated language when it comes to kamikiri. It’s a performance that can be enjoyed by anyone who understands shapes, so beginners who have trouble understanding the more complicated rakugo, or non-Japanese people can also enjoy kamikiri! Kamikiri: It’s Harder Than It Looks! Source :YouTube screenshot One of the main characteristics of paper cutting is that there are no mistakes. The rakugo performer sits on the “koza” (the stage of the yose) and collects requests from the audience. You only have one shot—no drafts or second chances! At 1:32 in the video, he receives a request for a “Wind Chime Shop” from an audience member. He cuts the paper in an instant, following the beat of the hayashi music. Just cutting it while sitting stiffly isn't interesting. Therefore, the performer uses small talk and story telling to captivate the audience. The resulting forms are scenes from traditional Japanese kabuki plays, animals, anime characters and more. Each kamikiri is also crafted differently. The finished art is passed out as a souvenir, as you can see in 2:25, so try to reserve a first-row seat if you’re watching in a yose! In order to perform kamikiri, you must have the skill of a craftsman: the skill to cut the paper while imagining various finished versions of the art in your mind. Summary of Kamikiri　 Photo：Kamikiri The only tools you need to perform the traditional Japanese performing art “kamikiri” are one pair of scissors and one piece of paper. Because it is so easy to begin, there are lessons that teach how to do kamikiri, changing rakugo and kamikiri into something that is more familiar to us. However, the two members of the Hayashi family have a unique sense of humor that is not easy to imitate. Experience the awesome performances of these professionals in this video.

The Origin and History of Nito Shinkage Ryu Kusarigama Jutsu Source :YouTube screenshot Nito Shinkage Ryu Kusarigama Jutsu started as a form of self-defense, after that Ju-jitsu developed as a form of unarmed combat and following that, Kendo (a form of fencing with Japanese swords). Near the end of the Edo Period (1853-1868 AD) it was still a well-kept clan secret, with varying schools or styles (such as Otomeryu) only being passed down to other clan members. The Shinmen Nito Shinkage Ryu school (opened by Shinmen Bensuke) derived from a two-sword fighting style called Niten Ichi Ryu passed down by Miyamoto Musashi. By the time the third generation master Matsumura Yoshitaka appeared, the "Shinmen" part of the name had ceased to be used. Currently the fifth generation master Shimamura Shu passes down the ancient practice of Nito Shinkage Ryu Kusarigama Jutsu through his training. He is based in the city of Kochi, in Kochi Prefecture .

In addition to traffic regulation enforcement and patrols, shiro-bai is used as a leading vehicle in marathons and long-distance relay races. The shiro-bai at the imperial guard headquarters however, is used exclusively to escort and protect important figures. The shiro-bai has various equipment such as a “speed-measuring indicator” that measures the speed of vehicles exceeding the posted speed limit. Some other features of the shiro-bai is a siren and a speaker used for voicing warnings. Training and Improving Shiro-bai Techniques Photo：Shiro-bai and police officer Shiro-bai police officers belong to the Traffic Police Force and gain the right to be trained to ride a shiro-bai only after they have passed the required examinations. The Traffic Police Force devote tremendous effort to their shiro-bai training in order to prevent accidents. The large motorcycle used as a shiro-bai is very big. In order to drive freely on public roads, police officers repeatedly undergo training such as figure eight runs and wheelie tests in addition to daily practice routines such as acceleration and corner turning. The "CB750F" Shiro-bai Photo：Shiro-bai Honda’s CB750F is one type of shiro-bai used by the Japanese police.

When a tayu moved from a hikitejaya (teahouse) to Yoshiwara, she wore a gorgeous kimono, black painted sandals called "Sanmaiba-geta," and took many underlings wearing "Furisode," a full dress for unmarried women. You can see the procession of courtesans in this video. Also, the journey from Shimabara, Kyoto to Shinmachi, Osaka was called "Tayu Dochu." This journey was what all women in the Edo period longed for. The oiran strolling through the street in their black sandals must have been an amazing site at the time. You can see them walking in the video at 1:13. It's said that it took at least three years to learn to walk properly, as the walking style of an oiran is very particular.
