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.

What is the most important thing a samurai should know? That is to know ``shame''. ``Budo begins and ends with etiquette.'' First, learn about etiquette, manners, and forms while wearing a hakama, straw sandals, and a sword, and then experience the weight and sharpness of a KATANA (Japanese sword). Learn the basics of the sword (drawing out the sword [batto] and sheathing the sword [sheathing]).

The samurai tea ceremony is a part of samurai's training to develop their character, and as samurai's favorite tea, it demands dignity from samurai. One of the most important things is hospitality. As a samurai, if you were not able to provide "hospitality," you deserved to die in shame until the end of your life. Samurai risked their lives to provide hospitality, and they risked their lives to receive hospitality.

A death calligraphy is something a samurai writes down with a brush as his last words in this world, reflecting on his life when he foresees his death. Before the Battle of Osaka, he foresaw his death and looked back on his life so far and wrote his last words in large strokes across the paper! Because of the honor that samurai cherish most, they do not suffer the shame of being tied down even if they lose in battle, and die by cutting their stomachs before they are captured. (HARAKIRI)
