Sword is Samurai’s spirit.

The word Iai consists of “I” (=regular daily life) and “ai” (=encounter with adversary). Iai is to learn how Samurai intimidates and subdues his adversary with strong determination and sword technique. You will learn Bushido or Samurai spirit as well as sword technique through the experience.
When samurai draws his sword, he puts his life at stake. You will see his zeal exploding from his physical/mental spirit, and his soul bounces when the samurai draws his sword and changes the static air into dynamic one. Iaido is about profound bushido spirit of “static” and “dynamic”, “shadow” and “shine”.
After the explanation of Iaido’s history and its spirit and basic demonstration, it is your turn to try it alongside your instructor with a sword.

*Iaido is a profound and pragmatic sword technique for a situation like “Fighting should not take place, but if necessary, technique needs to be ready to subdue adversary”, therefore please understand this is NOT a stunt show like Ninja/Samurai show.

This program provides you an authentic but handy experience of elegant Nihon-buyo or traditional Japanese dance wearing Kimono/Yukata with a fan in an authentic Japanese room.

What is Nihon-buyo?
Nihon-buyo established as traditional Japanese dance with a history of over 300 years. It is based on Kabuki-buyo which developed from Kabuki, consisting of the elements of plays, dances and music. Both Nihon-buyo and Kabuki has been handed down and developed through the years.
With this historical background, Nihon-buyo has theatrical and abstract motions as well as exaggerated expressions which originally came from Kabuki. They have been passed on as its stylistic beauty.
Consequently, Nihon-buyo is one of the ways for us to hand down Japanese aesthetic sense and emotional expression with a beauty of Kimono to the present generation.
