Why is kendo important in Japan?

Kendo is a Japanese martial art which means "way of the sword." Although several different martial arts utilized swordsmanship, this unique style of fencing made an appearance in the 20th century. It was recognized after the introduction of shina (bamboo swords) and bogu (body armor) created by Japanese master Naganuma Sirozaemon Kunisato. Kendo has adopted a concept of disciplining an individual�s character through the principles of Katana, which is a sword.

The history of Kendo is very much associated with samurai during the Kamakura period (1185-1233). This period also marked the strong influence of Zen Buddhism on the development of Kendo.

Those who practice Kendo are called kendoka or kenshi, which means swordsman. Kendoka practice the martial art with loud shouts, or kiai, which are said to express the spirit of fighting. In Kendo, strikes are only allowed to be made to seven target areas of the human body. All of these body parts are covered by armor, to protect the opponent from severe injuries. These target areas are the top of the head, left and right side of the head, both wrists (while they are held in different positions), the torso, and the throat. Because many attacks against these targets can result in fatality, certain body parts are off-limits to practitioners who are not senior experts.

In competitions, points are only awarded to Kendo practitioners who earn them. Attacks must be performed firmly and adequately and must hit a specified target with precise accuracy. During a tournament, a referee will hold up a flag to announce when points are awarded. The flag's color will correspond to the color ribbon worn by the practitioner awarded the point. The first competitor to achieve a total of two points is considered to be the winner.

Since the founding of the International Kendo Federation (IKF) in 1970, approximately 8 million people worldwide practice Kendo. Its popularity is widespread throughout North America, Europe, South America, Asia and Africa.

How many gold medals did japan win in judo?

Japan won 37 medals at the Athens Summer Olympics in 2004.

Japan won 16 golds, equaling its highest ever total, recorded on home soil at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. In terms of gold medals the country finished at a highly credible 5th, behind the U.S., China, Russia and Australia. Judo and swimming yielded especially large medal hauls, but Japanese competitors also struck gold in the women's marathon, the men's team gymnastics, the men's hammer and women's freestyle wrestling.

Why Germany and japan not permanent member of security council?

Why did japan develop differently than china and other Asian countries?

Japan, unlike most other asian nations, wasn't ravaged by European colonization. They effectively isolated themselves for around two centuries.. Though most would argue that this only hurt Japan and kept the society from advancing along with the rest of the world, they fail to realize that it also allowed them to develop it's own culture to the point where it couldn't be dominated by any foreign one. Then, once they were truly ready to ascend into the international community, they bloomed and became an imperialistic world power. China and others weren't ready to interact with the West. This, along with the greed of the west, resulted in thier total domination.

That brings about my second point, which is the significance of their culture. Japanese culture is interesting because it involves all members of society to be wholly harmonious, while being more enthusiastic about work than probably any major society out there. Most capitalists fear that strong socialist principles and values are responsible for laziness in society, and their fears do have some merit, but for Japan it's the exact opposite. For Japan, the more "together" they are, the more inspired they are to work hard. They possess a form of hive-mind, community based culture, which has allowed them to tough out disasters that would have crippled most other nations.

What do they call weed in japan?

The Japanese native word for pot is 大麻 (たいま) which is pronounced "taima."

"tai" rhymes with the English "tie", "ma" sounds like "ma" in the German "Mann".

The kanji means "big" and "hemp", respectively.

Oddly enough, most Japanese don't make the correlation between hemp and cannabis, though hemp has been an important part of Shinto for a while.

Another word used in Japanese for pot is マリファナ pronounced "marifana".

It was adopted from the English word, as were many other modern Japanese words such as "レスタラン" ("resutaran", or restaurant) and アルバイト ("arubaito", or part time job, from German "Arbeit").
