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. #katana #bushido #honor

The meaning of shogun is the commander of the samurai appointed by the emperor. In modern times, it refers to the position of commanding and directing an army. It is also used as a term of respect for the boss. #shogun #samuraisword #samuraiarmor #bushido

Samurai-specific Osaka Castle Guides Private tours in armor More than 400 years later, Yukimura Sanada has not forgotten his debt of gratitude and remains loyal. 『恩義を忘れ、私欲を貪ぼり、人と呼よべるか！？』 "Can anyone be called a human being who forgets his debt of gratitude and only thinks well of himself!?" #osakacastle #samurai #Bushido #yukimurasanada #katana

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. remember that one step outside the doorway is the world of death. #katana #samuraisword

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 #katana

In Samurai Calligraphy Plan 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. #calligraphy #kanji #shodo

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. #calligraphy #kanji #shodo

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. #osakacastle #samuraisword #katana

Underwater trash pick-up program 🗑️🌊 I received my Dive Against Yellowtail certification card! 😃 The design is a sea turtle 🐢✨ The theme of this design card changes every year. The theme for 2024 is sea turtles, which have been greatly damaged by ghost gear (discarded fishing nets), which has become a problem in recent years. The message of this card is not only to improve your diving skills, but also to raise awareness of marine conservation and the protection of marine life. Thereare, if you wish to use this specially designed card instead of the usual certification card, you will need to pay a donation of at least 500 yen per unit to a non-profit environmental protection organization called the AWARE Foundation. The donations are used ♻️ for "shark and ray conservation" and "marine debris recovery activities" In this activity, you don't just end up picking up trash! We measure and classify the garbage we collect, and create data while discussing the causes and problems. This data is reported through PADI (the world's largest Scuba Diving educational institution) to researchers, environmental groups, and government agencies for analysis and action. Diving is not just a leisure activity or picking up trash, but it is 💡 a valuable activity that allows you to think deeply about environmental issues and contribute to improvement through concrete data Let's protect the future of the ocean together. If you are interested, please feel free to contact us! 📩 We can ✨✨ change the inside of the ocean with our own hands
