Nishijin brocade is a luxury material that has been used for costumes of the upper class, including aristocrats and warriors. This photo book and drawstring bag are carefully woven by craftsmen using Nishijin brocade.

"I dream good dreams, but I do not dream good dreams."
Toyotomi Hideyoshi always had the thought, "It is no use if I am the only one enjoying myself. He always wanted to please everyone around him.
“よき夢を見するがな”
豊臣秀吉には「自分だけが楽しんでも仕方がない。周りも喜ばせたい」という思いが常にありました。

SAMURAI Photo Shooting at Osaka Castle Keep

SAMURAI Photo with a foreigner who came all the way to Osaka Castle to see the sights in the pouring rain!
SAMURAI Kiyomasa Kato's armor ⚔ today

The statue of Lord Hideyoshi at Osaka Castle Toyokuni Shrine, which still watches over Osaka along with Osaka Castle, which enjoyed a period of prosperity. I took a photo shoot with a SAMURAI-loving foreigner on February 6, Hideyoshi's birth anniversary.

The last battle of the Osaka battle is set in the gorgeous Osaka Castle built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi ⚔ Wear armor and helmets, and let's go to battle! Then, he was surrounded by foreigners and became a popular SAMURA！

"We must never forget who we are, our history and our traditions."

The blue-eyed samurai who came to Japan from Mexico with a yearning for the LAST SAMURAI had a Bushido experience.

The muddy creek does not reflect the moon's light
泥だらけの小川は月の光を反射しません。

The metaphor of the moon reflected perfectly in clear water is often used to describe this heightened but unhinged state of mind.
澄んだ水に完全に反映された月の比喩は、この高められているが動揺していない心の状態を説明するためによく使用されます。

I tried the Bushido HONOR plan at a hands-on facility near Osaka Castle ⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔⚔

How to visit shrines and temples/神社参拝の作法

Samurai were born with a sense of honor. Honor was the highest good. The goal that a young man who wanted to become a samurai had to pursue was not wealth or knowledge, but honor.
Honor was 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.

侍は生まれながらにして「名誉」を自覚していた。「名誉」は最高の善であった。侍を目指す若者が追求しなければならない目標は、富や知識ではなく、名誉であった。
「名誉」は損得勘定なく、“自らのなかで”追い求め続ける目標なのだ。ゆえに世間の評判を気にするような「名誉」は本当の名誉ではない。

【KOZUE】
西陣織は、貴族や武士ら上流階級の装束等に使われてきた高級素材で、どこかしら「和」の美しさを精一杯表現しようとしたある種の侘び寂びの欠片のようななものが感じられる。
侘び寂びとは日本の美的感受性を表す言葉で、不完全や簡素の中にある美しさを見いだすのである。

【SAMURAI HONOR スタッフ達の辞世の書】
―はかなさが痛いほどささる珠玉の筆―

⚔道⚔

日本伝統の「武道」には、剣道、柔道、空手道、相撲道などがあり、いずれも「道」という言葉が入ります。 「道」とは過程、プロセスのことです。 生き方と言い換えることもできます。

S戦国時代武士の平均寿命は42歳くらいと言われています。現在の日本の男性の平均寿命は約81.5歳 女性は87.6歳…
現在の寿命から比べると、SAMURAIは半分ほどの時間しかない中で、明日の命もわからない時代を駆け抜けていました

つまり、「武道」とは、技術の習熟を目指すことと併せて、自分の生き方を見出し、実践していくことです。

また若くして散っていくSAMURAI達…
人生は儚いと言いますが
そのはかなさを痛いほど教えてくれるのが、先人たちの辞世のことばでこれを読むと残りの人生の時間を考えさせられます。

オ・モ・テ・ナ・シの向上のためにスタイル研修

武士道を極める体験

SAMURAIは鍛錬・行使・身の処し方などを徹底します。それらを生と死のあり方を通じて体験していただきます。
名誉の観念は外聞や面目などの言葉で表されるが、裏を返せばすべて「恥」を知ることである。「恥ずかしいことをするな」「対面を汚すな」「人に笑われるぞ」武士の間では羞恥心を知ることが幼少の教育においてまずはじめに行われた。
Style training to improve OMOTE NASI

Experience to master Bushido
At SAMURAI, we thoroughly train, exercise, and carry ourselves. You will experience them through the ways of life and death.
The concept of honor is expressed in words such as appearance and face, but on the other hand, it all comes down to knowing ``shame.'' ``Don't do anything embarrassing.'' ``Don't make your face dirty.'' ``People will laugh at you.'' Among the samurai, learning about shame was the first step in childhood education.

You pulled me out... you became my body... you became the master of the sword.

A thumbnail is only a thumbnail, but it is the first point of contact for the user

For today's viewers, who are hungry for stimulation and easily bored, it is important not only to make them watch today's activities, but also to provide them with stimulation within "one episode" so that they do not leave the site halfway through.

Some users may click on the video and say, "What's going to happen? The "thumbnail" of the video is definitely a factor in this decision. In other words, the thumbnail is the look, the appearance, the face of the person of the opposite sex.
If the title of the video includes words such as "Cursed or possessed" or "Too much flying" too conscious of Rurouni Kenshin, which make people expect something happening, or if the thumbnail shows a woman's cleavage, the number of views is likely to increase.

For those who are interested in "samurai," such as sword fighters and reki-fat people, "cleavage" means...

I think it's a real "Yokatana" like the god Anubis, who controls the person who holds him or her as a swordsman. Even I am excited.

Just as important as the thumbnail is to have an eye-catching, radical and catchy title. In addition, making it impossible for fans to go to sleep because they are so excited and worried about their fantasies is a great way to differentiate yourself.

I agonize over a new story every day to keep not only the users but also myself occupied.... Well, it's hard to think, but thanks to the 2 million drawers I have, it's not a problem at the moment ⚔.

I would like to thank the production team for their ability to take my fantasies and images and quickly materialize them.

Thank you ♡♡♡♡♡

お前は私を抜いた…お前は私の本体に…お前は刀の達人に

たかがｻﾑﾈｲﾙ、されどｻﾑﾈｲﾙはユーザーにとって最初の接点

刺激に飢え、飽きやすい現代の視聴者に対しては、本日の活動内容を観させるだけでなく“1話”の中でも途中離脱させないための刺激を散りばめることが重要だ。

「これ、どうなるの」「やってみたい」と動画をクリックするユーザーもいるだろう。その判断に働きかけているのが、間違いなく動画の“サムネイル”とういう存在。即ち、異性選びにおけるルックス、外見、顔がサムネイルだ。
動画のタイトルに「呪いや祟が」や「天翔け過ぎ」（るろうに剣心を意識しすぎ）といったハプニングを期待させる言葉や、サムネイルで女性の胸の谷間が映っていると再生回数は伸びやすいんです。

SAMURAIに興味がある層の、刀剣◯子や歴◯にとって“胸の谷間”にあたるのは…

本当の“自らを握った者を剣士として操る”アヌビス神並みの「妖刀」ではないでしょうか!? 私でもo´∀｀oﾜｸﾜｸする。

サムネイルと同じくらいで大事なのは、人目をひく過激でキャッチーなタイトルをつけること。さらに、ファンの妄想をふくらませ悩んで興奮して寝ることができなくすることは、差別化に最適ィィィ

ユーザーだけでなく己も飽きさせない為に毎日、新しいネタを悶々と…。まぁ、考えるのは大変ですが、私には200万の引き出しがあるので、おかげでいまのところは問題ありません⚔

私の妄想やイメージを、サクッと具現化してくれる制作陣には

SAMURAI, a man of ambition a person with determination, strikes the heart and resonates the soul. Pursuing every single stroke for a lifetime, I acquired a 1.8-shaku Japanese drum that represents Japan⚔

志ある武の人（覚悟ある者）即ちSAMURAIが打つは心、響くは魂。一瞬一打を生涯追求する、日本を代表する和太鼓1.8尺を手に入れた⚔

辞世の筆/The Book of Resignation

A "resignation calligraphy" is a brush stroke that a samurai writes down as his last words in this life when he foresees his death.
侍が死を予見したときにこれまでの人生を振り返り、この世での最後の文字として筆で書き残すもの

Shame is the basis of moral consciousness, and honor in Bushido is the basic virtue for pursuing aesthetics as a person.
武士道における名誉とは、人としての美学を追究するための基本の徳である。
Honor in Bushido means respecting one's name and living a noble life without shame.

As Matabei waits for the following troops to arrive, he says, ``The Tokugawa spearhead troops have already arrived.''
Realizing that his plan was doomed, Matabei attacked the Tokugawa vanguard without waiting and was killed.
Kanesō Usuda, who arrived after Matabei, was also killed in the battle.
Mouri Katsunaga's and Sanada Nobushige's troops arrived shortly afterward, but it was too late...Toyotomi's forces retreated to Osaka Castle.

Wabi and sabi are words to appreciate Japanese aesthetic sensibilities, which represents “beauty within simplicity and imperfection.”
わび・さびとは日本人の美的感受性を表す言葉です。不完全や簡素の中にある美しさを見いだします。
It's the beauty we find in imperfection.
それは不完全さの中に美しさを見いだします。
Wabi points to beauty coming from simplicity.
わびとは簡素な中にある美しさのことです。
Sabi represents beauty or serenity that comes with age.
さびは時間が経過した趣のある美や静寂を表します。

Nobushige Sanada Yukimura was found by the enemy as he rested against a tree in the precincts of Yasui Shrine during the summer campaign in Osaka, and died in battle, leaving behind his last words, ``Take credit for this head.'' …

真田信繁（幸村）は大阪夏の陣、安居神社境内で木にもたれかかり、身体を休ませていたところを、敵方に発見され「この首を手柄にされよ」という最後の言葉を残して討ち死に…

The tea ceremony teaches us everything that is important.
大切なことは全て茶道が教えてくれる

Samurai tea ceremony enthusiasts enthusiastically enjoy the tea ceremony and are obsessed with collecting specialty items. Nobunaga becomes happy by ``hunting specialties,'' such as offering famous tea utensils and forcing them to buy them.
武家茶道は熱心に茶の湯を嗜み、名物の収集に夢中に…。信長は名物の茶器を献上させたり、強制的に買い上げるなどの「名物狩り」を行い悦になる

[Osaka no Jin⚔Sacred place pilgrimage] There is also a well said to be Sanada's loophole at Isshinji Temple, right in front of Yasui Shrine where Nobushige Sanada died.
The “Sanada family = loophole” also exists in the famous Ueda Castle and Yasui Shrine/Sanada Maru, so it is a must-see for pilgrims to sacred places.

During the summer campaign, Tadanao Matsudaira, who was scolded by Ieyasu, boldly attacked Sanada Yukimura's main camp on Mt. Chausu.

Japan's oldest temple, Shitennoji, was burnt down during the Winter Siege, leaving behind its stone torii gate, and during the Summer Siege, a fierce battle took place at the South Gate.
日本最古の寺の四天王寺は冬の陣で石の鳥居を残し焼失し、夏の陣では南大門で激しい戦いが行われた。
