From an early age, a warrior learns to distinguish between the bravery of a litterateur and the true courage of "great valor". Mothers send their children to expose their bodies to the cold winter weather and to see the horrific sights of execution sites. My father teaches me how to use a sword from an early age. He starts with a wooden sword, and when he attains the age of 15, he is allowed to carry a serious weapon. At that time, he becomes aware of his self-respect and his sense of responsibility for carrying a dangerous weapon in the street.

武士は幼少のころから匹夫の勇と、真の勇気「大勇」の区別を学びます。 母は冬の寒空の中、肉体をさらさせたり、処刑場の恐ろしい光景を見に行かせます。 父は幼少のころから刀の使い方を教えます。 まずは木刀から始まり、15歳で元服すると真剣を携帯しての行動を許します。 その時、彼が自覚するのは自尊心と、危険な凶器を往来で持ち歩くことに対する責任感です。
