和歌山県上富田町に咲くヒガンバナの群生、今年の夏の暑さのせいで開花が随分と遅くなりましたが、やっと満開です。

和歌山 串柿の里 2022.11.04

地元の方に案内していただき串柿の里へ行きました。

400年の昔から串柿の特産地として、現在に引き継がれています。 その見事な風景は晩秋の風物詩として全国に知られ、訪れる人々を楽しませています。また山沿いに点在する村からの展望は息をのむほど美しく、春から夏にかけての新緑の季節は心までも緑に染まります…とのこと。

絶景でした。

小さい秋見つけた！

コキアは少し赤くなっていました。季節の変わり目を感じました。

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.

「ナゴメ谷の登り龍」

深山幽谷の只中を走る国道309号※通称、行者還林道沿いから臨むナメゴ谷は、山肌は常緑の針葉樹、尾根筋だけに広葉樹が植生。
秋には、紅葉した樹木が尾根をうねり、龍が登っていくような珍しい光景を創り出します。
その広葉樹にお日様が当たり輝いていました。

<The way of the Samurai is death.>
Loyalty: the attitude of risking one's life to convey one's way of thinking to the wrong way of thinking of one's lord. Loyalty was not something that was forced upon the samurai, but something that was voluntary.
In Bushido, one dies beautifully with these things in mind.

〜both the literary and military arts〜

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.

The spirit of the Samurai is a way of life and death, a way of letting go of attachment to life and living in this lifetime. Through Samurai honor, students acquire the spirit of Bushido.

The Way of the Brush

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 fullest.

Honoring the Samurai girl

The more onago is bullshit, the more the world will be bullshit.

The stronger you are, the calmer you will be. 

The more you can hang your head and bow low, the more genuine nobility and strength you will acquire.

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.

I have found that bushido means to die

He was willing to die for a certain purpose. If you always act with the intention of dying every morning and evening, and if you are willing to die, you will be able to fulfill your family duties without fail for the rest of your life.

Samurai fought fair and square in one-on-one battles, which was the samurai way of fighting. During this time, it was not acceptable for the adversary to initiate a fight. If they did, they were considered "cowards.

Martial arts and cultural arts emphasize the importance of learning kata, the basic movements of the school, as well as the learning of a predetermined form and at the same time the mental state at the time it is done.
