Description
Nederlands: Deze afbeelding toont Japanners die oefenen met wapens. De Edo-periode (1603-1868) is een tijd waarin vele culturele aspecten in Japan tot bloei komen. Traditioneel draagt een lid van de samurai-klasse twee zwaarden. Het oefenen met het zwaard wordt gezien als een deel van de opvoeding. In de Edo-periode ontwikkelen leermeesters verschillende manieren om op een veilige manier de zwaardkunst te kunnen beoefenen. Shinai, lichte zwaarden gemaakt van bamboe, en de karakteristieke trainingshelmen die op de afbeelding te zien zijn, zijn hier belangrijke voorbeelden van. Vandaag de dag wordt dit beoefend als de sport kendo (de weg van het zwaard).
English: This picture shows Japanese men exercising. During the Edo period (1603-1868), many aspects of cultural life flourished in Japan. Traditionally, a member of the samurai class carried two swords. Practicing sword fighting was considered part of the education. At the time, many instructors developed different ways to safely practice the art of sword fighting. Shinai, light swords made of bamboo, and the characteristic headpieces seen in the picture clearly illustrate this. Nowadays, sword fighting is practiced as a sport, called kendo (the way of the sword).
