Samurai become  For those of us living in today's busy world, learning about the samurai spirit can give us insight into our attitude, attention and focus, and foster the determination needed to achieve our goals to the best of our ability. We must not only carefully consider the words of the Samurai, but we must also act on them. #katana #samuraisword

Seen from the Coast of Toyama Prefecture, it is the island and the snow-covered Tateyama mountain ranges that spread out in the background. It is a beautiful scenery created by the clear winter air.

Hello! This is Genshosenkyo. Cold days continue, but the air is so clear that the rock faces along the promenade are fully visible, creating a breathtaking view. Around Senga Falls and along the river, the rocks are dusted in white ice, and the way the mountain stream rushes between those rocks is truly beautiful (sparkling). Fewer tourists visit in this season, so you can fully enjoy the great outdoors. If you listen closely, the sound of the wind, flowing water, and birdsong is deeply soothing. Our shop is the closest to the power spot Senga Falls.😃 After exploring Shosenkyo Gorge, please stop by Genshosenkyo to recharge your energy. We look forward to seeing you all❣️

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
