【SAMURAI HONOR Staff Resignation】 - A gem of a brush that touches the transience so much that it hurts - ⚔Way⚔ Traditional Japanese "martial arts" include kendo, judo, karate, and sumo wrestling, all of which contain the word "do." "Path" is a process, a process. It can also be rephrased as a way of life. The average life expectancy of a samurai during the Sengoku period is said to be about 42 years old. The average life expectancy for men in Japan today is about 81.5 years, and for women it is 87.6 years... Compared to today's lifespan, SAMURAI had only about half the time, and they were running through an era when they didn't know what their life would be like tomorrow 　 In other words, "martial arts" is about finding and practicing your own way of life, along with aiming for mastery of techniques. Also, the SAMURAI who are scattered at a young age ... They say life is fleeting. It painfully reminds us of its transience in the words of our predecessors, and when I read it, it makes me think about the rest of my life.

〜The correct way to participate in the "Bushido ⚔ Holy Land Pilgrimage" toured by [Samurai Style], which is more than 4 times more satisfying〜 1. When you look at the places and scenery where historical characters were, you can feel their feelings and immerse yourself in the worldview of the past Warring States period. For example, by walking in the same way as the place that appeared in the scene of the battle, you will notice new elements, understand the bushido of the SAMURAI, and become more sympathetic and your push level will increase. 2. You can take a fantastic and one-of-a-kind photo movie. In SAMURAI taiga dramas and movies, beautiful views and buildings tend to be used as backgrounds in the works. The scenery that makes you feel like you are in a fantasy world is real in various parts of Japan, so take a photo with yourself dressed as SAMURAI against the background. If you like social media, fantasize about this sense of accomplishment and the desire for approval later. ( ̄ー ̄)Grinning 3. Also, if you know the history and the story of a specific SAMURAI, you will see the same scenery differently. While insisting on "let's take a picture with the same angle of view as that scene", welcome to the m(_ _)m world of delusion By the way, I'm the same as Kenshin in his land, the same Hiten Goken-ryu Mystery Tensho Ryu Sen... Since it was unreasonable, I challenged ⚔ the Nine-Headed Dragon Flash 4. You can experience the charm of the area If you deepen your understanding of the place through pilgrimage to the Holy Land, you will be able to learn about the local area and culture. It will also be an opportunity to visit unusual sightseeing spots that are not generally known. There are many pilgrimage spots in SAMURAI, from popular spots known for their tourist spots to places that do not seem to be tourist spots at first glance. Why don't you add "SAMURAI's BUSHIDO⚔ Pilgrimage to the Holy Land" to your next travel theme and sightseeing spot?
