□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.

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.

Let's learn the bushido and experience the samurai spirit.
What is the most important thing for a samurai? Wearing hakama, sandals, and a sword, and learning etiquette, manners, and kata. We call it the BUSHIDO sign.
Next, as a BUSHIDO LEARN, you will experience the weight and sharpness of a real Japanese sword. We will learn the basics of swordsmanship (Battou and Nattou).
We will take a break with SAMURAI TEA on the way. You will be entertained at a tea ceremony, as samurai risked their lives to "entertain" and "be entertained".
Before participating in the final battle of the Warring States Period, the Battle of Osaka, the participants are asked to prepare for death and reflect on their own lives, writing their last words with a large brush on every piece of paper. This is called Deathbed calligraphy.
At last, he puts on his armor and helmet to become a bushido master and goes to battle at the castle of Osaka to gain military merit in the battle of Osaka.
However, when the defeat was imminent, the samurai, for the sake of honor, would not suffer the shame of the noose, even if they lost the battle, but would die by harakiri or cutting their belly before being captured.

From an early age, a SAMURAI 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。

KATANA MASTER⚔ , his assistant interpreter, and three professional photographers will teach you, a foreigner who dreams of becoming a SAMURAI, the way of Bushido.

The first thing that a foreigner who wishes to become a samurai must pursue is not skill or knowledge, but honor. Before wielding a sword, it is important to know "courtesy" and "shame".

Samurais in the Warring States period were taught how to use swords from an early age. He was first taught to use a wooden sword, and when he reached the age of 15, he was allowed to carry a serious weapon. At that time, he is aware of his "self-respect" and "sense of responsibility" for carrying a dangerous weapon in the street.
-----------------------------------
KATANA MASTER⚔ と通訳のアシスタント、カメラマンのプロフェッショナル達3人で、海外からSAMURAIになることを夢見たあなたに武士道を指導します。

侍を目指す外国人がまず追求しなければならないことは、技術や知識ではなく、名誉である。刀を振る前に“礼”や“恥を知る”ことが重要。

戦国時代のSAMURAIは幼少のころから刀の使い方を教わります。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されます。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”である。

礼儀作法や古武道と同様に、SAMURAIは効率的、効果的、そして優雅な動きをするものです。その結果、日本の伝統的な剣術には派手な動きはほとんどなく、最小限の動きしかしません。回転する剣、飛び蹴り、大げさな動きは、真の日本の剣術にはありません。

そしてKatanaの練習は何よりも心を育むことを目的としていました。武士は、熱心な練習と極度の集中力を通じて無念無想、執着や先入観のない、状態に達することを望み、よって即座に対応できるのです。

【アシスタントスタッフが通訳】
Like etiquette and kobudo, SAMURAI is about efficient, effective, and graceful movement. As a result, traditional Japanese swordsmanship has few flashy moves and minimal movement. Spinning swords, jumping kicks, and exaggerated movements have no place in true Japanese swordsmanship.

And Katana practice was aimed above all at cultivating the mind. The samurai, through diligent practice and extreme concentration, desired to attain a state of detachment, free of attachment or preoccupation, and thus able to respond instantly.

【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。

“I found out "Bushido" is dying.”
Samurai are willing to die for a certain purpose. Yes, the way of the samurai is death. If you always act with the intention of dying every morning and evening, and if you are willing to die, you will never fail in your life, and you will be able to fulfill your family duties.

“武士道とは死ぬこととみつけたり”
とある目的のために死を厭わない。そう、侍の道は死なのです。毎朝毎夕、いつも死ぬつもりで行動し、死に身になっていれば、一生落ち度鳴く、家職を全うすることができる。
侍は「義、勇、仁、礼、誠、名誉、忠義」を念頭に置きながら美しく死ぬことを追求していくのです。

■Souvenirs

【benevolence】
“Benevolence”  means compassion as a person and a heart that cares for others. The spirit of benevolence resides in the “compassion of the samurai.”  Don't forget to be considerate of others. A spirit of benevolence is essential for those who stand above others.

【仁】
仁とは、人としての思いやり、他者への憐れみの心のこと。“武士の情け”には、仁の精神が内在している。他者への思いやりを忘れてはならない。仁の精神は、人の上に立つ者の必須項目である。

辞世の書とは、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。大坂の陣という戦を前に、死を予見してこれまでの人生を振り返り全紙に最後のひと文字を大筆で！
侍が最も大事にする名誉のため、戦に負けても縄目の恥辱を受けず、捕まる前に腹を切って死ぬのです。（HARAKIRI）

Sanada Yukimura, who sortied from Mt. Chausu, charged head-on toward Tokugawa Ieyasu's main camp, aiming for one of Tokugawa Ieyasu's heads in order to take revenge despite being outnumbered. He threatens to take one step closer, but he is killed in the precincts of Yasui Shrine... “Since I’m giving you this head, it’s good to take credit for it! ” Nobushige Sanada passed away at the age of 49⚔

Resignation calligraphy is a calligraphy in which a samurai, when he foresees his death, looks back on his life so far and writes it down in brush strokes as his last character in this world (resignation means to leave this world).
The customer chooses his/her favorite Kanji character and the character (Kanji) is written on a piece of SAMURAI paper (16 times larger than a regular piece of HANJI paper), which is a combination of two pieces of HANJI paper (8 times larger than a regular HANJI paper) with an extra large brush.

(Example: Yukimura Sanada's resignation: "In this unstable world, we do not know what will happen tomorrow. (Since the world is in such an unstable state, we cannot be sure what will happen tomorrow either.
(Although I have become a powerful ruler, my life was like the dew falling off a tree and disappearing like the dew.

Kanji characters themselves are very popular among foreigners because each character has its own meaning and the appearance of the typeface is perceived as beautiful, and you may have seen many foreigners walking around wearing T-shirts with large kanji characters printed on them or have kanji tattoos on their bodies.You may have seen many foreigners wearing T-shirts with large kanji characters printed on them or have them tattooed on their bodies. We will explain to you the attitude, tools, and manners of calligraphy, so that you can deeply understand "Japanese calligraphy" and write down the kanji you have chosen with a brush.

The reason why foreigners are interested in the Japanese language is

"The beauty of the Japanese language.


I often hear that the reason why foreigners are interested in the Japanese language is "the beauty of the Japanese language.

Using the calligraphy skills learned through the calligraphy experience, students write their favorite kanji characters on fans and hanging scrolls of their choice.

The master calligrapher will then take the kanji back to your bag with his expert brush strokes.

Since each kanji character has multiple meanings, it is important to know what other meanings they have. Knowing the meaning will make the bag shine.

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.

Calligraphy has a delicate sense of beauty, and the subtle changes in fine lines, dots, and shading enhance its beauty.
There is also an aesthetic sense of stillness, and it is important to keep one's mind quiet and focused when writing.

This is a plan to make a pilgrimage to the sacred place where the Samurais were defeated in the last great battle of the war in Osaka and the castle fell, wearing armor and helmets as if in a battle.

〜A famous castle that marks the history of prosperity and upheaval of the Tennojin　
The official website of Osaka Castle introduces the tour as follows.

However, there was no sign of the impregnable castle that once boasted of its impregnability, as the moats other than the main citadel and the dug-out moat were filled in by Ieyasu's scheming peace during the Battle of Osaka.
The Tokugawa forces, led by the Echizen forces led by Matsudaira Tadanao, who were the first to arrive on the scene after the destruction of Sanada's troops, invaded the castle one after another, and a fire started by an informant of the Tokugawa forces in the Honmaru kitchen quickly engulfed the castle tower.
When Nobushige, the best soldier in Japan, was a hostage of the Toyotomi family, he was favored by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and treated as a vassal rather than a hostage. Yukimura joined the overwhelmingly disadvantaged Toyotomi's side in the Battle of Osaka because he remained loyal to Hideyoshi.He was called from a position where he was merely prolong

The place where Toyotomi Hideyori, Yodo and others committed suicide]

On May 8, 1615, Toyotomi Hideyori, his mother Yodo, and about 30 other masters and servants committed suicide within Osaka Castle immediately after the castle fell.

In Osaka, a monument was erected in honor of Yukimura Sanada at the site of Sanada Maru, which was built during the Osaka Siege.
『真田丸顕彰碑』

``Sanada Loophole'' under the reclaimed well of Ubuyu Inari Shrine
「真田の抜け穴」井戸跡

It is said to be the site of Sanada Maru, a castle built during the Osaka Winter Siege. Within the precincts, the ``Sanada loophole'' that Yukimura is said to have dug remains.

At Tamatsukuri Inari Shrine, there is a statue of Toyotomi Hideyori watching over Osaka Castle's castle tower.
