    Some slicing of flowers with a katana

    I normally dont go for this sorta stuff...But this I found very cool!
    It felt cheezy at first but I grew to like it.

    Kata bujutsu teachers neither victory nor defeat, but rather how to nurture others and pull them to a higher level. That is budo. /Nishioka Tsuneo - SMR

    I prefer to use pruning sheers.

    Always laugh when you can. It is cheapest medicine.

    I think it is very beautiful. Nice cinematography work, imho. It's art.

    There is a section in the novelization of Miyamoto Musashi's life dealing with the slicing of flowers and the quality of the sword stroke. (sadly, I'm at work and youtube is blocked so I can't see what it is)

    The sword is more than a simple weapon... it is an answer to life's questions.

    Look at the first video in the series. A very nice cut right down the middle and cutting the flower cleanly in half. Very nice!
