About the video

Here, I mainly post videos of stories. The videos of techniques are only a little.

The master Yanagiya Kosan, who was also a kendo master, told me this story.

“In the world of rakugo, you have to learn from the master of the time. If you are taught poorly, your poor performance will show up. So masters don’t teach their students themselves, but send them to train under the best master. In kendo, you have to learn from the best master. If you are second, no matter how much you practice, you will never be able to become second or better.”

If you watch a video of poor performance, your poor performance will show up. There are no masters like there were in the past in the modern world, so it’s safe to say that all the videos are poor. Videos of techniques are not helpful.

But the story is different. Some words from people in the past contain truth. So I have included a few videos to convey that.

This is a video of a kendo seminar I held in Vancouver, Canada, at the invitation of the late Mr. Kamikaki. I conveyed the master’s sword technique through practical training in the secret technique of Hokushin Ittoryu [Kiriotoshi].
Also in Vancouver. Bokken training is so realistic that it allows you to see your true self and gain a deeper understanding of the sword.
