The highly praised Budo Culture seminar will be held again this year on March 5th to 8th at the Nippon Budokan Training Center in Katsuura City, Chiba Prefecture. Lecturers this year are Kaku Kozo, historian and writer, Thomas Kirchner, author and renowned Zen scholar based at the International Research Institute for Zen Buddhism at Hanazono University, Yamaguchi Kaori, Tsukuba university professor and All Japan Judo Federation International Committee vice-chairperson, Nemoto Kenichi, 13th soke of Igaryuha Katsushin-ryu jujutsu. Instructors for the practical sessions include some of leading instructors from across the range of Japanese budo. Full details in the attached pdfs.
The purpose of the seminar is to provide foreign residents in Japan who study traditional Japanese martial arts with knowledge in not only the theory and techniques of budo, but also to deepen their understanding of its historical and scientific aspects.
This seminar is in principle intended for those residing in Japan. The application materials and lecturer's outlines are attached below, with the program to follow.
