Hating a martial art because of a little joke makes you a dull, boring person. Instead it’s jokes like these that make studying under a master much more fun and interesting, my experience with similar people has taught me that being a little frivolous during similar scenarios help lighten the mood and make for a much better learning experience. i think badmouthing a master who worked hard to earn his title is pretty rude.

Great video, but I won't be sharing it with my family. Sorry.

My theory about the nape's makeup is that it was originally shaped like that to avoid the neck hairline, even the very faint part of it, which for this part of the body is sometimes the most extended. The finer the nape's makeup shape, the less hairy the woman is implied to be. For me seeing hair lines stained with makeup makes the woman seem not very tidy.

I really enjoyed the video and learned a lot. But I have some issues with “Why are Katana generally curved?”. 1- “Easier to draw” - For the most part, I agree; such as the horseback aspect. But I don’t think iai(do/jutsu) have anything to do with why the katana is curved. Because iai(do/jutsu) developed after the katana was already curved. Iai is the way it is because the katana is curved, not the other way around. Naginata are not at all convenient to draw from the sheath, but they are also curved. Possibly because (point 3 below). 2- “Makes it feel lighter” - I feel this is very far off the mark. I think katana feel lighter (than they’d otherwise feel) *because* they are curved; not the other way around. I don’t think there ever was an era in Japanese history where samurai all were like “Hey guys, these feel heavy. Can we make them feel lighter somehow? No, don’t carve hì (grove/fuller), change the cross section geometry, or distal taper… make it… curved!” Carving out a bo-hi (fuller), utilizing different blade geometry (hira zukuri, unokubi zukuri, etc), adjusting the taper, all make the sword lighter. I don’t believe the curve exists for this purpose; I think the “feeling of lightness” is simply one of the results of the curve. 3- “Becomes sharper” - I’m not going to go into semantics. We all know that the curve doesn’t actually make it “sharper”, it makes it easier to cut with/utilize the cutting edge of the sword. This goes hand in hand with the history of horseback riding samurai who wanted a curved sword for use on horseback (referring to point 1). If you swing a straight sword on horseback, and you receive resistance, you’ll end up most likely chopping as opposed to slicing. This can realistically lead to shoulder or elbow injury. A curved blade will make it easier to slice an enemy down. Of course, this then begs the question: Why is it curved? The basic reason as to why it is curved is due to the differential heat treatment in the way that it is made. In summary, clay insulation covers the back of the sword in a thick layer before and during the heat treatment. Causing the edge and back of the sword to cool at different rates and retain different states of expansion/contraction. The back cools slowly, this causes the sword to cool “towards the back”, so to speak. This is why Japanese swords have Hamon. This is why Japanese swords can be very sharp (no, not magically sharp for all you katana nerds haha). It’s just the way they’re made. And horseback riding and slicing enemies have had an influence on this. What do you think?

Go to Serbia 👍

It means general. The two characters literally mean general. Question answered, the end. Saved you two minutes watching this long winded video.

How did they make fruit salad then? I’m a Fruit Ninja so I’m curious

I want to learn Klingon but I can't move to Ethiopia

This is true except for Oda Nobunaga, who wore bamboo crocs.

Fascinating! Stylish but functional. I like that

I was there in 2002. It was off season but id love to see a baseball game there.

I prefer to Live to fight another day, it always seemed a waste.

This has Toranaga’s (Tokugawa’s) fingerprints all over it.

Was that Kaminaga Daisuke in your intro clips?

Big love from Greece, japan is one of the most admired countries here , we love Japanese People and your Great history

I’m Catholic and wear crosses/crucifixes on a necklace as a sign of my faith… would those necessarily be distracting for a tea ceremony? I think that’d be problematic for me.

My dumbass thought it was fatter than the average japanese person, and that's the reason why my legs went numb

He wrote his story in his own words, in his own voice! I think that story made him a unique warrior who never existed before and never will again. He was like a favorite at a time when samurai holding a sword became samurai holding a pen...

I feel like if someone told Hayao Miyazaki to shave he'd actually punch them. 😂

My proffesor said collectivism in Asia could be explained by “rice-culture” vs “wheat-culture”. Wheat could be farmed by one person and labour could be spread out over the year, it could also be made more effective with animals and invention. Rice on the other hand demands more manual labour and infrastructure like irrigation ditches and so the village model stayed in place where in Europe it was abandoned during various land reforms.

Me coming to this channel after watching Shogun😄❤️

My heart was fluttering just watching this video.

If i had only known this earlier, i would have never tried to mimic this.

French is hard to learn and French people are very bad at English but there is a big liking to Japan there. 7 to 8 hours different. And for the warmth... It depends on which region you choose (you can also go to French island like Reunion, Mayotte, Martinique... Various choices around the world)

By the way, buy a katana with a leather tskamaki, not a fabric one. The leather has a better contact with the ray skin underneath, so the knots don't move along the hilt. A high quality katana has a very strong wrapping, so the knots don't move. A fabric tskamaki has a weaker contact and friction with the ray skin than leather.

I’m surprised it’s not cleanliness thing

Tell the zoro about it 😅

"Curved Sword only belongs to Hammerfell" - Whiterun Guard

Thank you Shogo san. <3 will finalize my custom Iaito on Tozando.

Don't forget the famous incident in 1970 of Nobel literature candidate who tried to inspire a military uprising. Mishima Yukio failed to have the Japanese army initiate a coup and so in response Mishima committed Seppuku as well as his Kaishaku!

I know tolls are expensive too. I'd rather pay for a ride with someone who put in all the work and dedication and inspection money than something like Uber, which I've never used. I still support regular taxi companies here in the U.S.

Viva o Japão! 🇧🇷🤝🇯🇵

Huh, I thought they wear obis in the front to make it easier for clients to undress the women.

Love this kind of vidios! Could you maybe talk about outer japanese wepons too? like Naginata and the fan? dont know the name of it

I’ve never seen sumos shave the tops of their heads. 🤔

Now go to Australia

Japanese vajrasana

come to australia

Next cover why Japan love white skin

I loved visiting Hiroshima! An amazing city with a complex and tragic history, and wonderful residents.

If only there was a sepoku act to test it on.. 😁. Just kidding, but great store.

I use Iado training with real Katana the result Saya Sheat is damage & I must order new Sheat and now I open My real Katana very slowly and carefully, & I will buy a training Katana for Iado training.

Shogo looking suave 💁🏾

I would say, I won’t take tea but I’ll take a beer!

I always thought the swordsman was there to make sure that you finished the job… a threat that you would be dishonored if you did not.

I admit I LOLed at the beginning joke, Shogo!

Nice. It's so people get a handicap and talk freely.

“What if someone’s chasing you” Clearly someone hasn’t watched a Jackie Chan movie

I have learned the secret ancient technique, to attack foes behind me with supersonic flying splinters: SAYA BUSTER! :P

Bullshido master Walter White 👏👏👏
