With the Australian "samurai" ready, the talks began. Part 1 consisted of an explantion about samurai armour...
Later, an informal chat about Japanese swords...
The guys then got the chance to go outside (in the bitterly cold Kyoto morning) and try their hand at swordsmanship... (looks like a scene from the Last Samurai, doesn't it!?)
The Japanese samurai team provided a short demonstration...
...and then to wrap things up, we all did the kachidoki samurai war cry together. It was great to see the Australians so interested in Japanese culture and history. Looking forward to presenting more of these simple and fun seminars.
