It's the same in the west. A lot of us celebrate Christmas without it being religious just because we enjoy the tradition. I think if anything a festival is good for getting people out of the house. Which sounds like a weird rational but it's always a fear of mine that as technology evolved and the world becomes more automated and convenient one day I just won't be able to justify living life.

Ginsan has a good soul and good attitude thanks to Shouyo raised him well. He will do what he must even it's caused him pain but he can cope with that. I also like Katsura,Shinpachi and Kagura as the wind beneath his wing. Kabugijo may a bit danger in real life but in Gintama world they all a low life with golden heart. Many gag stories are heart warming like Kagura's umbella,Ginsan help prisioner make manga,Sadaharu,Shinsengumi help Shinpachi write love letters.

Finished this book a month ago. I love it.

When it comes to Kamon (Japanese crests) I like instead of choosing already made one, I like to *MAKE* them from the name/surname meaning or symbolic.

Can you create your own Kamon and what are the guidelines for designing your own Kamon besides the fact they all seem to be round or circular and symmetrical on at least one axis?

couple months ago i went to Osaka castle, playing gacha and get Sanada's Rokumonsen crest pin and i put it on my shirt collar (it looks good i guess). at the night, im hanging out in small izakaya at Kyoto, alone. i forgot im still wearing that pin and a fine japanese with a long coat ask me with low voice "kore wa, kakui (or something like that). are you support it?" and i feel stupid and ask with all my anime knowledge "he? kore, taihen desuka?" and try to remove it. im so scared down to my pants. some minutes later i realized that he's actualy just a nice guy that want to start a conversation with strangers and i spent my whole night chatting with him using japanese, english, and a lot of hand gestures. it's a great experience.😅

Real last samurai.kirino was the last to Fall. Great warrior.

Idk, I wouldn’t use someone else’s existing Kamon. The Oda Family still exists, so why would I use theirs, for instance? I find that disrespectful to do so

I'd have to come up with one that unique for my family. Just using one thats pretty "public domain" doesn't seem right.

Interesting

Anyone here because of Rise of the Ronin 😅

Thanks for this! With the upcoming Rise of the Ronin taking place during the Bakumatsu period, I wanted to learn about this time period!

Japanese anime brought me here

My coworker has this condition, and a few others, so i sent him your first video. His problem isn't as severe as yours, but he found your first video educational. I myself am not a swordsman, but i am a sword enthusiast and collector. I am 😥 that you can't practice all you want. But, i am 😁 that you refuse to give up! No matter what, just keep swinging ⚔️✌️

Experimentation and evolution are important for martial arts, so in my opinion, more progressive schools like Yushin Ryu will have an edge in that. The evolution of a martial art is carried out by those studying and pressure-testing it. But again, not all martial arts are intended for actual combative purposes. Every martial art has its purpose (fitness, self defense, sport, etc.) the importance lies in what you can learn from each discipline. A notable example is Aikido, which is as effective and evolved as Judo within its intended scope. issues arise when people attempt to apply it beyond its designed parameters.

Nice podcast! Samurai culture is very interesting.

Think of japan as dr who, what would dr who do against the daleks when the daleks are taking over lets says taiwan....

Homophobia is like racism and sexism. It shouldn't be tolerated. Of course, every people has a right to do whatever they want but there should be always consequences. If a hotel doesn't allow people because of their sex, sexuality, skin colour than the guest's right to report. But we talk about Japan where the law is not in the favour of LGB people. More protests needed. I feel sorry for the Japanese homosexual people. I can't understand why Asian and African culture cannot change. I wouldn't say we should accept all changes (for example transpropaganda) but it's terrible many people are still disgusted or mock homosexuality. Most humans are pathetic!

Greetings from New York. How is applying hiding your money to pay for goods in every day situations? Like if you go to a grocery store to buy milk would you hand the cashier naked cash or would you hand them cash in an envelope? Does this apply to other places or just special circumstances? Thank you for your contact, Shogo. I discovered you on your main KZfaq. I came over here soon after. Thank you for teaching us all the wonderful content of Japanese culture. I’ve always been interested in your culture since I was in grade school. Thank you so much for your valuable lessons and wisdom. Keep it up.

I mean I’ve looked into all sorts of sword things learn a bunch of things it makes for a rounded experience.

This is interesting to hear now, after you just teamed up with/launched Yushinryu’s channel Shogo. I’m really looking forward to learning more about the three styles and would like to contribute somehow. Maybe in the future there would be a possibility and I would love to discuss things further. Maybe I’ll send you a dm. Thanks for posting and hope your recovery went well!

C'est peut-être une erreur de la traduction automatique, mais Jules Brunet n'était pas allemand, mais français. Un youtubeur français du nom de Christopher Lannes a fait une vidéo au sujet de Jules Brunet. Si vous avez le temps et le désir de regarder voici le titre de la vidéo : La VÉRITABLE histoire du DERNIER SAMOURAÏ Attention, mon objectif n'est pas de dénigrer votre travail, mais de recoller les morceaux de l'histoire. It may be an error in the automatic translation, but Jules Brunet was not German, but French. A French youtuber by the name of Christopher Lannes made a video about Jules Brunet. If you have the time and the desire to watch here is the title of the video: The TRUE story of the LAST SAMURAI Rather copy the title written in French of the video, the video is not in English, but in French, but there is the auto translation. Please note, my goal is not to denigrate your work, but to pick up the pieces of history.

Sometimes you have to go to the place you think you want to be, which is where you don’t want to be, just to find out later that that’s not the place for you. Keep doing and learning. 😁🙏

As someone who’s practiced zen for a while, I really like your comments about it. I once heard someone say that “If you’re practicing Zen to accomplish something or because of a conceptual belief, it’s not Zen” and I’m not sure why but that made me feel so good. “There is nothing to teach” -Bodhi Dharma

Thank you Shogo for sharing these stories! The message was very inspiring!

i am glad u did it! congrats on completing it!

Thanks for inspiring me to start learning Japanese, already mastered reading ひらがな and カタカナ

I'm so proud of your work Shogo and how you present the truth every time! Your care shows in your words!

Thank you so much Shogo!

The same way you find your purpose we wish for them to find their own and be happy pursuing it!!!

You said it so well!!!

I hope more businesses give them fare share of opportunities and be less prejudiced against them!

Wow that is interesting!!

I thought the name "let's ask Seki Sensei" was really clever!

✨✨✨So very right! 👏👏👏

Please update us on your health! Great story of Seki sense again!!

So true ! Forgiveness brings healing and allows love to flourish

So beautiful. Amazing thing to say to a child 💖

Amazing!!! Your mother is a warrior!

i saw the photos from your kofi~ i am glad you have the experience!

This podcast is interesting. The geisha dances are so beautiful, but the performers seem to be acting happy over a sense of inner tension.

Hallo Shogo-san, du solltest diesen Podcast wirklich viel bekannter machen, er ist sehr interessant und unterhaltsam aber nur ein ziemlich kleiner Anteil deiner Zuschauerschaft auf dem Hauptkanal guckt die Videos hier. Knapp 7.000 zu über 1,5 Millionen ist wirklich unverhältnismäßig. Es sollten mindestens 500 tausend Leute mehr diesen Kanal abonnieren und den Podcast schauen lol 😅

it wud be such a great experience for the girls to go to the forbidden city~

I tot it sounded very anime/manga like. that's why they say 戏如人生perhaps

for some reason, i cant' this video after i click back. Glad for the reminder about ninjas~~
