4 places inside Matsumoto Castle that wowed me🤩 松本城内気に入りトップ4 Happy weekend everyone. In the past few posts on my trip to Matsumoto, I have talked about the exterior and the interesting defensive building details of Matsumoto jo. The interior was packed with so many interesting details but here are my top 4. ①Firearms Museum (Teppo Gura) On the 2nd floor. Part of this is from the Akahane Collection of 141 pieces donated by a husband and wife who collected firearms and weapons from all over Japan. The museum is extensive with a huge collection of matchlock related accessories and historical documents.鉄砲蔵がとても素晴らしかった。銃砲コレクション火縄銃をはじめとする古式銃砲、銃砲用具、銃砲とその歴史に関する資料で構成されている。 ②Samurai armour (gusoku) Beautiful antique armour from the 16th century is also on display on the 2nd floor. 当世具足　銃弾入れや、火薬入れなどを吊り下げています。 ③Lattice window On the Fifth floor there is a wonderful lattice window overlooking the castle gardens and it has an amazing view! The light that comes in from the window is beautiful and makes for very cool photos as I found out🫶天守5階内部、破風入込間と格子窓がとても素敵でした。5階からの景色も模しろんですが、入ってくる光がとても美しかった。 ④Roof shrine On the roof of the 6th floor one of the highest interior points of the castle is the shrine dedicated to the deity Nijurokuyashin who is said to be the guardian of the castle. She is given an offering of rice on the twenty-sixth night of each month in order to help continue her prosperous guardianship.6階の屋根にある二十六夜神がユニークでした。まず屋根にこのようなものは初めてでした。伝説が面白くて、御城を守るものになります。 Would you like to visit Matsumoto Castle? 松本城行ってみたい？コメント欄で是非書き込んでください🫶 #伝統文化 #history #cooljapan #クールジャパン #shogun #将軍 #samurai #armor #armour #sword #castle #城 #歴史 #Japan #top4 #ranking #teppo #matchlock

Happy weekend everyone Saitama PR Ambassador post: Chichibu Meisen kimono: 秩父銘仙着物. 埼玉県広報アンバサダー投稿：秩父銘仙着物について🤗 These wonderful photos were taken at the peak of hydrangea or ajisai (紫陽花) season in Japan as you can see🥰 On this day I wore an antique kimono made in Saitama with a silk textile called Chichibu Meisen. Chichibu秩父 is the city where this textile was made and meisen 銘仙 literally meaning common silk material. Chichibu Meisen was designated a traditional craft of Japan in 2013. 秩父銘仙は、埼玉県秩父市、横瀬町、小鹿野町、皆野、長瀞町一帯で作られている織物。2013年に国の伝統的工芸品に指定されました👘 The Chichibu region is situated in a basin area surrounded by mountains which meant historically it wasn't the most suitable place for growing rice. People instead worked as silkworm farmers leading to Chichibu becoming very famous for its silk production. The silk meisen textile itself is very durable, light, and comfortable making it ideal for kimono. I found wearing this kimono very pleasant. Even though it was about 35 degrees with high humidity on the day in the photos, the kimono was very light to wear and the fabric had just the right amount of stiffness and softness with a wonderful slight metallic sheen that sparkled in the sun.秩父は山に囲まれた地形で、稲作に向かないことから養蚕業が盛んでした。その中で規格外の繭を使い「太織」と呼ばれる野良着を生産していました。 Traditional dyeing methods remain unchanged now for over 100 years and are another interesting part of Chichibu Meisen kimono. Loose printing or hogushi nassen ほぐし捺染 was patented in 1908 by Chichibu native, Sotaro Sakamoto. It is characterized by the fact that the front and back are dyed the same way. The weft of the loom is composed of complimentary colors to create an iridescent sheen that looks different depending on the angle. The plain weave with no front or back means that if the front facing side fades, it can be reused by flipping the inner facing textile outwards which I thought was pretty cool. 📌Continued in the pinned comment 📌コメント欄で投稿が続きます👇 #history #kimono #chichibu #秩父 #秩父銘仙 #antique #埼玉県広報アンバサダー #floral #samurai #dayoff #flowers #textiles #research #traditionalcultural #chichibumeisen #cooljapan #prints クールジャパン #伝統工芸 #伝統工芸 #artesian #weaving #dyeing #Saitama #shogun #outdoors #japanstyle

Training nanba jutsu with William Reed sensei 📌English article and Japanese Magazine appearance info 📌月刊秘伝10月号表紙・記事英語版:BudoJapan執筆情報 I'm happy to announce I'm on the cover of martial arts magazine Gekkan Hiden together with American born William Reed sensei. Under the tutelage of Reed sensei, I had the wonderful opportunity to try a traditional and historical walking technique called nanba aruki or nanba walking. リード先生となんば歩きを体験してみました！ナンバとは、右手と右足、左手と左足をそれぞれ同時に出す歩き方である、ナンバ歩きとも呼ばれる。 📌The English translation of my article is up online via BudoJapan dot com! 📌月刊秘伝全国の本屋、アマゾンで発売中。記事:木内ひろさん Nanba aruki is a method of walking that involves engaging the tanden (the area under the bellybutton) and moving right arm right leg and left arm left leg instead of the usual twisting opposite arm and leg walking style.今回なんば歩きという体はねじれない、丹田と腰を使った歩きや呼吸法を体験しました。 I had heard that nanba aruki was used by express messengers or hikkiyaku飛脚 who used this method of walking in order to travel very long distances without getting tired and with the samurai class who walked with a sword attached at the hip. Supposedly they preferred nanba aruki as it helped to stop their swords from swinging around as they walked The origins of nanba aruki are varied some sources say it comes from kabuki, others say its for walking in yoroi/Japanese armour, others say Noh Theatre (which involves very controlled movements in traditional Japanese clothing). So, what led to its decline in popularity? What is the current state of nanba aruki in modern Japan? I had a wonderful training session, so please check out my online article for more information. #breathing #focus #stamina #training #history #nanbaaruki #なんば歩き #samurai #samuraiwalk #歴史 #伝統文化 #research #kyudo #弓道 #呼吸 #tanden #丹田 #martialarts #budo #magazine #covergirl #表紙 #モデル #moonwalk

Have you heard of the nagamaki ?長巻の話 The other day in Yamanashi Prefecture I rode Japanese indigenous horses, I wore Heian Period replica oyori (my favourite) and tried different weapons on horseback . I haven't posted about nagamaki for a while so lets talk about it⚔️ This school in Yamanashi teaches practical Japanese equestrianism and martial arts on horseback. If you speak Japanese you can learn naginata, tachi, yumi, nagamaki and yari on horseback after you learn to ride proficiently and pass grading. 紅葉台木曽馬牧場で実用的な和式馬術と馬上武芸習えます。 The nagamaki is a type of sword developed from the Odachi but has the reach of a polearm too. It offers versatile combat techniques, and has the cutting power and technique of a sword with the reach of a longer weapon/polearm. The one I'm holding is 170cm long, with a blade length of 74cm. It weighs about 1.4kg. I'm used to this length as my yumi and naginata are long, but the weight balance is a lot different than what I'm used to. 長巻についてこちらの長巻（ながまき）は刀剣の一種で、大太刀から発展した武具だそう。教室の長巻が全体の長さ約170センチ。刃渡り約74センチ、重さ約1.4kg Holding a nagamaki with one side of pur body, elevated on horseback with a different centre of gravity is quite an interesting experience. 馬上長巻は方手、または両手を持って操作するのです薙刀に似てると感じてます。 Historically it was seen used from the Heian period (794 to 1185) with popularity peaking in the Kamakura period (1185–1333). Supposedly samurai and bushi class preferred it for its ease of use compare to a nodachi. Fighting on horseback or on foot against cavalry it provided a long wide range of reach, making it an effective weapon for keeping foot soldiers at bay or dismounting horsemen from the ground. Have you tried or would you like to try nagamaki? Let me know in the comments😇 References in the pinned post👇 #nagamaki #nihonto #cooljapan #長巻 #history #oyoroi #armor #horseback #yamanashi #山梨 #sword #japanese #shogun #japanesesword #onnamusha #onnabugeisha #馬上武芸 #naginata #polearms #spear #yari #coolhistory #horses #伝統文化 #クールジャパン #armour #yoroi #training #kimono

Mokuba木木馬 practice in Nikko with Ogasawara-ryu 小笠原流弓馬術体験 *swipe for video This is the last part in a series of posts about my experience at Nikko Toshogu Shrine training with Ogasawara-ryu in a special program and tour called My Shogun Story.日本語文書はコメント欄にてあります👇 After we got dressed in the igote and wore a kisshagake or mounted archery glove, Waka sensei explained about the shigeto yumi. This beautiful and precious yumi is lacquered bamboo with many rattan wrappings. Historically, the lacquer would help to make the bow less sensitive to moisture and rain. The bow wrappings or tou express heaven (astrology) 28 tou and earth (living creatures) 36 tou. We can see shigeto yumi being used in Ogasawara-ryu rituals. Next we did kissha taiso騎射体操 a mounted archery excersise to wake up our body and get it prepared for the movements on the mokuba. There were 3 beautiful mokuba (木馬. Moku 木is wood and ba馬 is horse) in the training area, fully tacked with Japanese saddle, stirrups and sangai. If you would like more info on Japanese horse tack I have posts on my patreon. So why use a wooden horse? In a practical sense, the access to real horses is limited and expensive in highly populated areas like Tokyo. Learning to ride on horses is important, but the months and years it takes to learn the kata and movements for shooting can be done on a mokuba meaning the training can be done inside too no matter the weather, season or location of the dojo. The balance of practicing kata handed down generations in the Ogasawara-ryu style and practical horse riding skills is such that the archer both rides at high speed, hits the target and the form of their technique is beautiful and elegant and a joy to watch.

Aizome is cool; Trying indigo dyeing in Hanyu, Saitama [Saitama PR Ambassador post] 藍染はクール:埼玉県、羽生市で藍染体験[#埼玉県広報アンバサダー ]Traditional Japanese indigo or aizome 藍染 is a beautiful colour. Some call it Japan blue, the colour of Japan. The process of dyeing using the aizome plant gives garments and textiles extra functionality and practicality.日本の伝統色：藍染。染めるとさらに機能性と実用性アップ！日本語投稿はコメント欄へ🙏🏻 Historically aizome dyed garments and textiles were used and worn by the aristocracy and samurai. Over time it became accessible to all levels of society. The colour fades relatively slowly and it adds an extra dimension of functionality and durability. Because of this indigo was widely used as a dye for hemp, cotton and linen work clothes and farm clothes during the Edo to Meiji periods. What functionality does aizome add to textiles and garments? It tightens and strengthens fibers, it adds insect repelling deodorising effects, antiseptic qualities which are said to aid in stopping the spread of skin rashes and conditions. It aids in blocking ultraviolet rays and (according to some sources) has good flame resistance hence the reason that Japanese firefighters wore a uniform of Aizome garments. (see references for more information). The indigo colour also has positive psychological effects including calming, helping concentration, calming the endocrine system, Used in garments underneath samurai armour and also in the lacing for armour, The darker indigo shade or kachi has the added benefit of hiding stains and maintaining the appearance of the samurai for longer. I visited Bushu Nakajima Konya(1837) in Hanyu City to try traditional aizome. Bushu aizome is a traditional textile dyeing technique from Hanyu, Kazo, and Gyoda Cities in Saitama. A konya 紺屋 is an indigo shop or a dyeing shop. The 藍師 aishi or master indigo dyer Niijima san took time to explain the process of making the dye from plant to fermentation to dyeing and the dyeing process. #弓道 #kyudo #aizome #藍染 #着物#antique #骨董品 #kimono #menskimono #クールジャパン #cooljapan #linen #tradition #伝統文化 #埼玉 #埼玉県 #埼玉観光 #渋沢って埼玉らしい #埼玉県広報アンバサダー #羽生市 #history #indigo #Japanblue #adventure #artesian #craftsmanship

Did you hit the target? With kyudo, we can [hear] a hit or a miss. So you can hear for yourself😀 中り(あたり)ましたか？とよく聞かれます。弓道ではほとんどの中りと外れは耳で判断できます。 In kyudo generally speaking there is either a hit ⭕ or no hit ❌ There is no bullseye or points for placement closer to the center. *Yes it is best to try to hit as close to center as possible but it a hit is a hit, a miss is a miss.オリンピックりカーブと違って(ざっくり言うと)中り⭕と外れ❌しかないです、ブルズアイというものはございません(が的の中心は普段から狙ってます)。 The sounds of an arrow hitting the target and an arrow missing it are quite different.中りと外れの音は結構違います。 Standard targets or kasumi mato 霞的 are 1shaku2sun or 36cm across. With a wooden frame and paper or thin plastic sheets for the target face. The surface is tight like a drum and when an arrow hits it you can hear a distinctive bang. 霞的の大きさは一尺二寸36cm. 的にはビニール製の的と紙製の的の２種類があります。矢が中りとパンッ！の音がでます。 On the other hand the target bank or azuchi 垜/安土 is made with river sand/sawdust/soil and is relatively dense and soft so when an arrow misses and hits the azuchi there is no bang only the sound of the arrow hitting that soft dense mass. There is a distinct lack of sound from 28m back where the arrow was shot. 変わりに矢が安土に刺さる、シュっとした音があります。 So, can you hear the difference? 1st there is a tsurune 弦音 or string sound on release. Then a hitting sound (or no sound if the archer missed) I think It's quite easy to tell a hit or a miss by listening.音の区別はできますでしょうか。 Try testing yourself by listening to other kyudo videos🫶 #kyudo #弓道 #archwry #instinctivearchery #kokorozashi #ikigai #kongbow #archer #kimono #着物 #伝統文化 #cooljapan #クールジャパン #listening #asmr #cicadas #summer #蝉 #セミ #Japan #history #unique #facts #知識 #didyouknow #coolfacts

Remembering Shibusawa Eiichi through traditional aizome 藍染indigo dyeing 埼玉伝統藍染を通して:渋沢栄一を敬う This month Japan released newly designed banknotes.The 10,000 yen note shows Shibusawa Eiichi, a Saitama born man who made a massive impact on Japans financial and banking system amongst many other things.今月新デザイン紙幣が発行されました。埼玉出身の渋沢栄一が1万円札にのってます🎉 He came from very humble beginnings in Hanzawa District (now Fukaya City), his family worked in the Japanese indigo or aizome 藍染 dyeing industry. 渋沢さんが武蔵国榛沢郡血洗島村生まれ育ち（現在深谷市）渋沢家は藍玉の製造販売と養蚕を兼営して米、麦、野菜の生産も手がける百姓だった。 Historically Aizome was used by aristocrats and samurai. Over time, it became accessible to all levels of society. It gives textiles better durability, insect repellant, deodorising, and UV ray cutting properties too. 歴史的は貴族や武士が使用していましたが、その後一般の方も藍染使用するようになりました。耐久性、防虫性、消臭性、紫外線カット性など、機能性に優れた繊維です。 As kyudo has become a part of my everyday life here in Saitama. I wanted to dye my kyudo uniform, as felt having the aizome dougi would be a very special way to commemorate Saitama born Shibusawa san and his lifelong achievements starting with his family roots in the aizome industry I visited Bushu Nakajima Konya in Hanyu City to try traditional aizome.Please see the pinned comment for further details of my aizome experience. My dougi turned out beautifully. When I wear it to practice, I will be reminded of Shibusawa Eiichi and his history with Saitama's traditional aizome indigo dyeing. Indigo is a beautiful colour that calms my soul. 羽生市にある1837年に創業した武州中島紺屋を訪れ、藍染体験しました。体験について張り付いたコメントご覧ください.。染めた道着がとても良い色になりました。お稽古に着ていく時、渋沢栄一と埼玉の藍染を思い出します。 #弓道 #kyudo #aizome #藍染 #longbow #archery #埼玉 #渋沢栄一 #cooljapan #クールジャパン #一万円 #埼玉県 #埼玉観光 #深谷 #渋沢って埼玉らしい #埼玉県広報アンバサダー #着物 #upcycle #reuse #banknote #design #memories #commemorate #samurai #shogun#伝統文化 #男着物 #羽生 #indigo #tradition

Naginata in Saitama 朝霞市なぎなたの皆様とお稽古 It's been a while since I posted about naginata.Have you tried naginata? Would you like to? Let me know in the comments! しばらくなぎなたの投稿してませんので改めてご紹介します。 The naginata (なぎなた, 薙刀) is a pole weapon like a glave traditionally made with a Japanese blade(nihontō). They gained popularity from around the Heian Period. For my practice, I use a wood and bamboo naginata, and koryu naginata is solid wood. 薙刀（なぎなた）は日本の長柄武器の一種で、平安時代に登場した武具である。私はまだ形を覚えるところですが、とっても面白いです。 The group I visited in Asaka City has members from 5 to 80 years old. Their goal is to learn naginata in an enjoyable way, which I think is really wonderful.朝霞のなぎなた団体の会員が5歳から80歳まで、幅広い年齢でなぎなたお稽古してます。 It had been a little while since my last keiko but everyone made me feel very welcome despite me being so rusty.久しぶりなお稽古、はじめましてにも関わらず、会の皆様に優しく受け入れました。 Naginata can be learnt by everyone regardless of age and fitness level.If you are interested in Naginata have a search for the International Naginata Federation to find where to learn naginata near you.なぎなたは沢山の魅力がありますが、年齢と性別とフィットネスレベルに関係なくどなたでも始まれる武道です。 Big thank you to Asaka Naginata🙇‍♀️ 📌Naginata on horseback As you can see in the naginata was used both on foot and on horseback depending on the period in history. On horseback, the naginata gives great reach and I can imagine holding this out and turing the horse at the same time would give very powerful cuts. When it became popular with ashigaru as an anti cavalry weapon, the long reach of the handle meant that distance could be maintained between the enemy to protect themselves.浮世絵なように時代によって馬上でも足軽でも使用方法が色々ありました。 #naginata #polearm #armour #armor #history #Japan #薙刀 #なぎなた #shogun #marikosama #nihonto #katakana #samurai #Japan #伝統文化 #長刀 #cooljapan #クールジャパン #budo #saitama #埼玉 #埼玉県広報アンバサダー #kimono #埼玉県広報アンバサダージェシカ #glaive #halberd #sparring #bogu #防具

Happy Sunday Everyone kyudo muneate 胸当 Part 2 dress code In my last video, we looked at the chest protector for kyudo and it's history. It stops the bow string from getting caught on our uniform.胸当ての賢い色と材料選びについて I often get asked which muneate Is best white or black or clear? So lets talk about what colour muneate to wear and when In my experience in Japan, some dojos here have unspoken rules about what colour to wear during practice/grading. Check with your sensei if you aren't sure. 胸当ての色ですが、道場によって暗黙の了解もあります。先生や先輩にご確認ください。 When wearing white dougi: black/ white and clear should all be ok. 基本的に白道着に白い胸当て、黒、透明は大丈夫。 With navy or black dougi, a black muneate is more inconspicuous. 紺や黒道着に黒胸当てがかっこいい🫶 I was taught technically a muneate does not have to be worn with kimono. Some people choose a clear one so the kimono can still be seen. Some people make a mune ate with the excess fabric from the bottom of their kimono (kyudo kimono are shorter than regular kimono)着物の時は胸当てつけなくても、中に着ても大丈夫と聞いてます。透明タイプも着物の柄が良く見えます。メルカリでは着物を弓道着物にリフォームしてるかたがいます。着物と同じ生地でオプションとして胸当てもお願いできます🫶 Just remember to choose your muneate according to the occasion. A safe combination will always be black hakama white dougi and a white or black muneate.TPOによって胸当て選ぶと良いです👌 #kyudo #弓道 #着物 #kimono #chestguard #archery #history #barebow #archer #funfact #dresscode #manners #ドレスコード #Japan #lifeinjapan #outdoors #summer #GRWM #uniform #ユーニフォム #madeinjapan #伝統文化 #cooljapan #クールジャパン 📌What colour is your muneate?#

Full draw Friday🎯 sound up🔉 Happy Friday from Japan🫶 This is footage from one year ago. 約一年前の映像です。 I had the pleasure of training at Meiji Jingu Dojo in the heart of Tokyo. 埼玉の弓友と東京の中央道場でお稽古しに。 On this day, the stars aligned, and Cathy san @cathy_tatami and Ivan san @ivanmelobudo came to visit the dojo too.たまたま来日してる武道家のお友だち CathyさんとIvanさんが道場に来ていただいて、見学の許可もいただいて、皆で別世界に飛び込み。 This is one of the videos of my training that they were kind enough to take. There is a full video on their YouTube channel from the Dojo visit. I will post the link in my stories. This dojo really takes my breath away every time. It is huge and has 12 targets. The 28m target bank swings out of the way at certain times if the day to reveal a 60m target bank we call 遠的 enteki (long distance shooting) This is where people from all over Japan to grade in higher and teaching ranks. It has a really special atmosphere that is both exciting and scary. I hope to take a grading here someday. Thank you Cathy and Ivan for taking the time to step into the work of kyudo. #kyudo #弓道 #archery #longbow #fulldraw #伝統文化 #japan #history #history #cooljapan #クールジャパン #着物 #peaceful #tokyotokyooldmeetsnew #tokyotokyo #archer #calmdown #shogun

Via my work on TV, radio, magazines, podcasts, movie, commercial, and YouTube, I've had many wonderful opportunities to work with Japanese actors, comedians, and models and through them I have learnt so much. I often receive questions about how I got started in the industry. I made a video on my YT channel (@jessintokyo) a while back. After registering at my now talent agency or 芸能事務所, I auditioned and got my break on a popular live weekly TV show SMAP Station with singer,actor from SMAP Katori Shingo. During this I was working full time as an OL (internal HR) for a recruitment company. I worked TV/media jobs in my weekends with permission from my work (my visa sponsor). There are many facets/specialisations in the entertainment industry in Japan. Entering different areas require different skill sets. Generally to work in tv or other media in Japan: 🔹Be living in Japan with a visa status that allows entertainment industry work . 🔹Have advanced spoken Japanese skills for Japanese TV. Modeling: the amount of Japanese you need depends on the job and the client. 🔹After registering at an agency, gig/job offers will be sent to you, and you can audition and go from there. #出演情報 #worklifebalance #mindfulness #bentobox #NewZealand #ニュージーランド #フジテレビ #タレント #モデル #女優 #WorkinJapan #JapanLife #redhead #ワンピ #弓道 #kyudo #ikigai #ママタレント #3児ママ #ママ会 #アラフォー

I tried traditional tea leaf picking in Sayama and learnt about the meaning behind the traditional red sash赤の茜襷 used by tea pickers.お茶摘み体験と赤襷の歴史の勉強 Sayama City in Saitama is famous for its tea. I finally got to visit thanks to my new job with the Saitama Prefectural Government as their PR Ambassador.狭山市はお茶が有名です！この間広報アンバサダーとして宮野園を訪問しました。 A historical document from the Nanboku cho period called Iseiteikin’orai 異制庭訓往来, mentions Musashi no kawagoe 武蔵河越 (now Saitama) as one of the best regions for tea. Tea picking season here runs from early May to early Nov 東京から1番近い日本三大茶産地:狭山市ではお茶の時期が5月上旬〜11月上旬になり、その間お茶摘み体験ができます✨ I visited Miyanoen 宮野園, a tea facility with a history of over 100 years. They have a wonderful tea garden out front and places to cook and learn about tea out the back.宮野園では目の前に広がる茶畑でお茶摘みを体験が気軽にできます。 I changed into a traditional tea picking kimono available to borrow when you visit.I wore a shorter length kimono and maekake 前掛け or apron. On my feet, I wore waraji. For protection on my arms wore teko 手甲 and to give me freedom to move, I wore taski 襷 a sashi which holds the kimono sleeves out of the way. These garments, especially the red tasuki, can be seen in tea related ukiyoe Japanese art. レンタルできるお茶摘み用丈短着物や前掛け、赤襷、手甲に着替えました。 Miyano san,the tea Master told me about red tasuki and its meaning. He mentioned hen people were working in wide open fields of tea the v,brant red colour would quickly identify where they were even from far away.赤襷が鮮やかで、広い茶畑でも作業者がどこにいるのか直ぐに分かります。 It was said that the traditional plant dye used to colour the tasuki was Akane 茜 or Madder (Rubia tinctorum) a herbaceous perennial plant species. Akane roots were used to dye the tasuki its bright red colour, Akane was also said to be used as an ingredient in medicine to stop bleeding. Tea pickers who cut their fingers while picking used to press their fingers to the sash to aid in stopping the bleeding.赤襷が茜(アカネ)植物で染め、茜は止血作用と言いました。茶葉で指先を怪我したときは、たすきを揉んで応急処置したようです。赤襷が凄い🤗 📌continued in pinned comment 📌文章の続きはコメント欄へ #kimono #着物 #狭山 #Sayama #tea #ocha #macha #ukiyoe #history #浮世絵 #agriculture #伝統文化 #cooljapan #クールジャパン #Saitama #SaitamaPrefecturePRambassador #埼玉県広報アンバサダー #shogun #samurai

The muneate 胸当て or kyudo chest protector is something I often get asked about.色んな方から胸当てについて質問されます。 The bow string touches our chest as a point of aiming in full draw: munazuru 胸弦 and the chest protector helps the string to glide smoothly on release. 弦が胸に来る、狙いを一つ:胸弦があります。弦が道着に引っ掛からないよう胸当て使用する方(男女にかかわらず)が多い。 Historically, something called munakawa, tsurusuberi, or atekawa was used by toshiya archers who sat to shoot with kimono at their waists for hours and hours at a time. The muneate they used bears a bit of a resemblance to the muneate we use in kyudo today.堂射の大会、三十三間堂の通し矢の射手が大矢数…暮れ六つ午後6時ごろから翌日の暮れ六つまでの一昼夜、射通した矢数を競うものを行ったため胸当て(弦滑り、当て革)が必要でした。 In part 2, I will talk about what colour muneatebto wear and when🫶 #kyudo #弓道 #archery #longbow #protective #history #tradition #instinctivearchery #Japan #shogun #歴史 #伝統文化 #cooljapan #クールジャパン #kyoto #三十三間堂 #堂射 #通し矢 #Toshiya #Sanjusangendo #kimono #着物

I tried jodo! 杖道やってみました! Thanks to Gekkan Hiden and BudoJapan, I got to take part in a jodo training session and write about my experience.月刊秘伝さんとその英語部門BudoJapanさんのお陰で先日杖道のお稽古に参加ができ、体験について執筆書きました。日本語版が月刊秘伝7月号にのってます。 I was taught by Shinto Muso Ryu and seitei jodo sensei Amano Shihan in Saitama City. Jo is an interesting weapon and through the training I came to realise it's more of a defensive weapon to be used against an attack from a sword/tachi. さいたま市にて、神道夢想流杖心会の杖道教士七段・天野宏宣師範よりご指導いただいた。 📌Info about the jo in the pinned comments So how did I do? The training was hugely enjoyable and interesting. I tried one seitei kata called Ipponme:tsukitzue 着杖(つきづえ)but I found that my habits learnt from naginata and kyudo hindered me a bit. My overall understanding and opinion of the jo and its usage really did a 180. Much respect to jo practitioners from around the world. お稽古がとても面白かったです。杖のイメージと実際使ってみたところのギャップが結構ありました。制定杖道の形一本目:着杖(つきづえ)を教えていただきました。なぎなたや弓道からの癖が中々やめれず(笑)足さばきに少し苦労しましたが全体的に楽しい体験ができました。 The full article of my experience in English is up on the BUDOJAPAN website now in the feature articles section(link in stories).今発売「月刊秘伝7月号」全国の本屋、アマゾン、秘伝のHPよりご購入可能です🤗 The Japanese version is in the July issue of Gekkan Hiden magazine. On sale at bookstores throughout Japan right now. Thank you to Hiro san for taking photos and video of the day and for checking and fixing my Japanese writing. 木内ひろさんのサポート:日本語文章の修正/書き直し、動画、写真どうも有り難うございました🙇‍♀️ #jodo #杖道 #writer #執筆 #kyudo #体験 #naginata #martialarts #cooljapan #クールジャパン #伝統文化 #古流 #なぎなた #弓道 #月刊秘伝 #BudoJapan #さいたま市 #埼玉県広報アンバサダー #埼玉県 #全日本剣道 #ZenNipponKendo #ShintoMusoRyu #jojutsu #Japan #kimono
