My name is Tomoyoshi Yamanaka. I was born and raised in a family that values the spirit of Bushido and the tradition of Kendo. My ancestor, Yoshishige Hayashi, was one of the last samurai to serve the Hikone clan in what is now Shiga Prefecture, about 150 years ago. As a fourth-generation descendant, I feel it is my mission to convey the values of Bushido that they cherished to the modern age. In this workshop, you will experience the deep philosophy of Bushido while touching on the basic movements and spiritual aspects of kendo.
