Haiku

[Hotei]

A low d-sharp sounds
Sensei's tsuru tightens more
Kendo's true music

[mystic_kendoka]

i think its too short... doesnt make much sense either, try doing a renga, thats with more than one haiku stringed up together..

[Kaoru]

Hi Mystic-san,

Haiku is 5, 7, 5 syllalbles. :) It was perfect.

Yes it makes perfect sense... if you are a musician, and I am... and I bet he is. hehe! Do you have perfect pitch Hotei-san? :)

He's talking about having to tie the tsuru tighter so it's not so loose. And, if you have perfect pitch, you can hear when it is too loose or tight, or just right. Pretty nice Haiku!

My butt is itchy

Hey look a squirrel

Nothing on TV
Thats why i make a Haiku

[souljah]

Hard hitting bully
Will not stop inflicting pain
Kick him in the nuts

[Hotei]

My first haiku trashed
Why can't we stay on topic?
Oh well, when in Rome. . .


And yes, Kaoru-san, I am a musician, and you nailed the meaning of my poem to a "t". Thank you for being so attentive to the meaning. <gassho>

[Musha]

Ps has any one tried to play there Shinai? :silly: Maybe I'll make a song some time lol..

[mystic_kendoka]

[Hotei]

Actually, yes, and I can get 3 distinct notes out of it. It sounds like a muted guitar, but I'm a little weary of plugging it in. . .

[mystic_kendoka]

which notes are they? (about) and how did u get them? ill try mine too... but ill have to tighten the tsuru..

[Musha]

Here is a photo from a book I have. I have read a little about post war Kendo but not the rules and not in much detail.

From what I have read Kendo stopped after the war due to sanctions from the US government to reform the country. But after introducing this new form of kendo it slowly decreased in popularity and people turned back to the kendo we have today. And by the 1970s the international kendo federation was established and the international kendo tournament to improve popularity in other countries.
