Experience to master Bushido

Kiyomasa Kato, a samurai who was known as a master castle builder during the Sengoku period, built Kumamoto Castle on the most beautiful and magnificent stone wall in Japan, using the most advanced technology and labor at the time.

戦国の築城名人として知られた加藤清正は、当時の最先端技術と労力を投じて日本一美しく壮大な石垣の上に熊本城を築城させた。

[Scattered cherry blossoms]
【散り桜】

Cherry blossoms are reminiscent of ``short-lived'' because their flowers fall quickly. Because the samurai were determined to win the war, family crests associated with scattering, ephemeral, and bad luck became distant.

桜は花が散るのが早いため「短命」を連想させます。 侍は戦勝にかけているため、散る、儚い、不吉を連想する家紋は疎遠に。

Japanese martial arts begins and ends with courtesy.
(礼で始まり礼で終わります)
Bowting is a way to convey your sincerity to the other person.
(お辞儀は相手に誠意の心を伝える意)
This consideration for the environment meant confronting the problem samurai faced every day: death.

Osaka Castle, whose moat was filled in during the Osaka Winter Siege, fell on May 8, 1615.

真の忠義とは何であろうか？武士道は主君のために生き、そして死なねばならない。

What is true loyalty? Bushido must live and die for its master.

Samurai cuts his own belly to protect his honor.#自決 #自裁 #SAMURAIHONOR
Based on the ancient anatomical belief that the human soul and love reside in the abdomen, it became customary among samurai to bravely cut the abdomen as a way of dying that adhered to Bushido.

日本の祝日であるこどもの日

Ahhhh! I've got to see Soma Nomaoi. It looks cooler and cooler the more I hear about it. Sending signals with a conch is super cool. It sounds like something that you'd hear about in a myth or folklore, but the fact that this was actually used is really interesting. A bit of a tangent, but it's awesome seeing all of the different helmet styles used in Japan. It's not exactly something unique to Japan, but Japan definitely has some of the coolest looking styles. This one kind of reminds me of traditional Japanese lacquerware and I like how it's very sleek and practical. Hopefully I'll be able to check this out this year. I want to visit Fukushima anyways so it'd be great if I could get it all to line up!
