Nov. 8, 2023
【Continue to protect with Bushido spirit】 Tsumago-juku, where the townscape from the Sengoku period remains intact, has come to be known as the Samurai Road among foreign tourists. This area strictly adheres to the three principles of ``Do not sell, do not lend, and do not destroy.'' Bushido was inherited even by modern people. They are also samurai. 【武士道精神で守続け】 戦国時代の町並みがそのまま残る妻籠宿は、外国人観光客の間でサムライの道と呼ばれるように。 この一帯は「売らない・貸さない・こわさない」の3原則を徹底して守っています。 現代人にも武士道は引き継がれていた。 彼らも侍である。

[Scattered cherry blossoms] 【Scattered cherry blossoms】 Cherry blossoms are reminiscent of ``short-lived'' because their flowers fall quickly. Because the samurai were determined to win the war, family crests associated with scattering, ephemeral, and bad luck became distant. Cherry blossoms are reminiscent of "short-lived" because they bloom quickly. Since the samurai are on the verge of victory, the family crest, which is associated with scattering, ephemeral, and ominous, is estranged.

❺Deathbed calligraphy Deathbed calligraphy is something a person writes down with a brush as their last words in this world when they foresee their death and look back on their life so far. ❻HARAKIRI “I found out "Bushido" is dying.” He is willing to die for a certain purpose. If you act every morning and evening as if you were going to die, and if you are willing to die, you will be able to fulfill your family duties without complaining for the rest of your life.

Sanadazaemon Sayukimura, who persevered in righteousness in the world of the warring states and crossed paths with Tokugawa Ieyasu, was killed in the Osaka summer camp. However, he was handed down as the number one soldier of Hihon, and the border from Tennoji to Osaka Castle was Sanada Yukimura's Bushido (Favorite quote, "Forget your indebtedness, devour your self-interest, can you call me a person?") I came around in red armor to feel it.

In Towada City, Aomori Prefecture, this is a Yabusame tournament held only by female jockeys around the time the cherry blossoms are in bloom. Female jockeys dressed in glossy kimono carry bows, ride on horses of Japan traditional lineage, and fly quickly through three targets while frying dust. Originally, Yabusame is an event held only by men as a Shinto ritual, but befitting the modern era of the 21st century, the gender difference between men and women has been abolished, and the ancient traditions of martial arts and equestrian arts that have been handed down from ancient Japan times have been adopted and passed on to future generations, and the world of glossy kimono fushiko is worth visiting and seeing. At the 4th "COOL JAPAN VIDEOS" Photo Contest - Spring of Japan, we were selected as one of the six winners out of 1,000 entries and received an honorable mention. 【Spring Shooting】

In Towada City, Aomori Prefecture, this is a Yabusame tournament held only by female jockeys around the time the cherry blossoms are in bloom. Last year, it was canceled due to the influence of the new coronavirus, but this year it was held with corona countermeasures. The cherry blossom front reaches the northern tip of Honshu around mid-April. The Yabusame Tournament, in which petting children in glossy Japanese attire unfold, heralds the arrival of spring in this area along with the cherry blossom front.

Awesome! The samurai residences of Kakunodate were awesome when I went there. The cherry blossoms were really amazing as well. Along the river and all along the houses. I remember I talked to one of the local shopkeepers here for a minute and it was really nice. There's supposed to be castle ruins somewhere near the town as well but I didn't get a chance to see them. This is a great place to visit in the spring for anyone curious. I highly recommend checking it out. Be careful of the big green spiders though, lol. I think they're probably harmless but they are quite surprising...

The cherry blossom kominka (samurai residence) and cherry blossoms in Kakunodate, Iwate Prefecture remind me of the good old days.
I want to take a walk in kimono.

I really enjoy seeing these posts showcasing Japanese matchlock guns. Not only do they look cool, they even look cool being fired. The smoke and the muzzle flash make it just completely awesome. I've fired modern day rifles and handguns and stuff like that but I've never gotten the chance to fire something like this. I'd love to try it just to see how it felt. Maybe it's a way to understand the past better as well. Gaining insight on what the samurai of the past would have used, how strong they are, how much kick they have, how they reload, etc. etc. Speaking of the reload and firing, it really looks interesting. I'm not too familiar with how it works but I assume it's muzzle loaded and then the string is used as a fuse? Either way I imagine it's something there are definitely hobbyists for!

The arquebus is filled with gunpowder in two places.
Gunpowder for firing balls.
A mouth powder that ignites firing gunpowder.

This photo shows the moment when the arquebus fire ignited the mouthpiece of the fire dish.

Ahhhh! I've got to see Soma Nomaoi. It looks cooler and cooler the more I hear about it. Sending signals with a conch is super cool. It sounds like something that you'd hear about in a myth or folklore, but the fact that this was actually used is really interesting. A bit of a tangent, but it's awesome seeing all of the different helmet styles used in Japan. It's not exactly something unique to Japan, but Japan definitely has some of the coolest looking styles. This one kind of reminds me of traditional Japanese lacquerware and I like how it's very sleek and practical. Hopefully I'll be able to check this out this year. I want to visit Fukushima anyways so it'd be great if I could get it all to line up!
