Karatedo Demonstration, Annan Dai Kata, during the 2023 Kagami Biraki & Budo Hajime, at the Nippon Budokan.
Demonstration by Kiyuna Ryo, 4th Dan, Kinjo Arata, 4th Dan, & Uemura Takuya, 4th Dan, who are multiple times gold medalists in the men's team kata event at the World Karate Championships.
The Kagami Biraki is a traditional ceremony that translates to "opening the mirror" (symbolically).
Taking its roots in the Shogunate, it is strongly linked to Budo practice and, naturally, the Budo Hajime (the first practice of the year) is celebrated simultaneously.
At the Nippon Budokan, the ceremony is held at the beginning of January and consists in:
- The Kagami Biraki, with a historical reconstruction (in armor).
- Budo Demonstrations (by the 9 "official Budo").
- Budo Hajime (the first practice of the year, all practitioners present can practice).
- The Oshiruko kai. “Oshiruko” is a traditional and popular sweet azuki bean paste soup with mochi (which symbolizes sharing the mochi that was broken before during the ceremony). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this last part has been canceled for sanitary reasons.
