Studying Japanese Culture - 2
|
|
I attempt to create an environment in my dojo where my
students can share my passion for the wonderful cultural
heritage of Japan. This is done by offering different
courses during the training year, taught by Midoriko, myself
and in certain cases, special guest instructors.
The courses that are held are:
|
|
|
|
Reigi (Etiquette) |
|
Shodo (Japanese calligraphy): learning how to brush one’s
own name in Katakana (one of the two phonetic writing forms
in Japanese), and to write certain "kanji" ideograms.
Reigi (etiquette): for use in the dojo and in general
(especially at the table!)
Nihongo (Japanese language): learning basic Japanese terms,
for dojo use or general use.
Ryori (Japanese cooking): homestyle cooking, homemade sushi
and other types of Japanese food
Aiki Shuren Dojo offers the possibility of studying these
and
many more aspects of Japanese culture, combined with good,
solid Traditional Aikido training.
