A beginner in kendo told me his motivation for joining.
"late Tokugawa shogunate, the priests of each clan understood each other by using swords to communicate with each other. I also wanted to experience what it was like."
Oh, it's amazing.
I simply felt the difference from myself who started Kendo in anticipation of historical drama.
During the Edo period, the clan ruled its own, and the culture nurtured was different.
The fact that people who grew up in different cultures used swordsmanship as a means of knowing others was a natural consequence under the samurai government.
It is a testament to the fact that many dojos were run in Edo and flourished in the days when late Tokugawa shogunate was nervous.
2-8, Yaesu.
A signboard for "Sadakichi Chiba Dojo Ruins" is erected in front of Tokyo Square Garden, facing Kajibashi Street.
"Hokushinichi Toryu" was founded by Shusaku Chiba.
With reasonable teaching methods, there are more than 6,000 gatekeepers, and it is a school that played the foundation of modern kendo.
Sadakichi Chiba was the younger brother of Shusaku, and had a dojo around Okemachi.
When Sakamoto Ryoma of the Tosa clan came to Edo for training swordsmanship, he entered Okemachi Chiba and Sadakichi Chiba Dojo.
It seems that the guidance of Ryoma was Jutaro, 12 years older, who was mainly the eldest son of Sadakichi and was assigned a dojo.
Later, Ryoma became the head of the school in Okemachi Chiba.
The Tosa clan's upper residence was located at the Tokyo International Forum, and Nakayashiki was located at the Chuo-ku government office.
Ryoma's residence is thought to be the tenement house of the Nakayashiki of the Tosa clan, so he probably used to pass from modern Shintomi-cho to Kyobashi with bamboo swords and armor.
My wife tends to assume that drama actors are real.
According to these stories, Masaharu Fukuyama of Taiga drama series's Ryomaden was walking around Kyobashi in kendo clothes.
In the near future, Ryoma Fukuyama may change to Ryoma Oguri.
Mr. Ryoma seems to have been very popular.
A man wants to listen to how he was motivated when he gained momentum, but Ryoma's letter also has such a description.
Sana, the daughter of Sadakichi Chiba, was known as "Chiba's Onikomachi", a biography of license, and a talented person.
And it is said that he was a fiancee of Ryoma.
The people who moved the times had the power to attract many people and create a chain.
The burial ground of Sadakichi Chiba and Shigetaro Chiba is located in Zoshigaya Cemetery in Toshima-ku.
