This morning, I went to see Yabusame at Izumo Ihabi Shrine. It was so fast that I couldn't take a picture of the arrow. 😭

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 Way of the Brush〜 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.

After prayer to Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, I relaxed at the Starbucks Bell Ring Street store. Macadamia white snow mocha and white chocolate macadamia donuts.

It is Kansennuma, Hokkaido in autumn. The winter constellation Orion created autumn on the yellow-colored grass.

Searching for Autumn in Gokase This time I’m sharing the fall foliage around Shirataki that I photographed just the other day🍁 To get straight to the point, the autumn colors are… not here😂! All we can do is gather the few red maple leaves scattered on the ground to create a touch of autumn😂 The maples along the slope from the parking lot to Shirataki (photos 2 and 3) have faded to a sparse yellow, so it doesn’t really feel like proper fall foliage😓 Well, they’re still pretty in their own way… but you really want to see maples in full red, right?😂 As you climb further toward Shirataki, there were even cherry blossoms blooming out of season🤣🌸 With the recent abnormal weather, the plants must be all confused💦 It’s raining today due to the typhoon (also strange for this season), but the forecast calls for clear skies from tomorrow, so let’s keep hoping the leaves will change more🙏🙏🙏 The Gokase Tourism Association’s Instagram is running “Gokase Autumn Foliage 2024,” so if you spot fall colors in Gokase, please enter and share your photos🍁📸 For details, see the pinned “Gokase Autumn Foliage 2024” post on the association’s Instagram profile🤗✨

It's autumn on a ranch in Hokkaido.

Photographed 10/19/24. It is a one-year cheap sea bream lottery of Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine. It's a vermilion color for a limited time, but when mixed with red, it's hard to tell. 😅

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.

Today, I attended the Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine Monthly Festival. It is a one-year cheap sea bream lottery. It was taken on October 8th, and there were fewer yellow sea bream lottery tickets today.

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. #Calligraphy #samuraiarmor #japaneseculture #osakacastle #kanji #katana
