I'am Bruce. The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering

Un documentaire de Sylvain Alzial et Rafik Zenine - Rediffusion de l'émission du 29 août 2008 Au cœur de la Dordogne, au Temple Ho Sho Ji (Temple zen du Pic Lumineux), un maître zen français, Kaisen, disciple de Taisen Deshimaru, introducteur du bouddhisme zen en France dans les années 1960, pratique régulièrement la pétanque dans son monastère. Avec ses disciples, boules de pétanque en mains, il observe la courbe impermanente de la boule, les émotions ou les tensions des joueurs, les postures et le contrôle du souffle, la concentration sur le cochonnet : en somme, la présence à l’instant présent. Très proche du zazen, la méditation assise silencieuse des bouddhistes japonais, la pratique de la pétanque peut s’avérer d’une très grande efficacité pour commencer un cheminement spirituel. Selon les mots de Kaisen, “ Il n’y a pas d’un côté la vie et de l’autre, la pétanque. Si la pétanque peut nous élever davantage au-dessus de nos misères et faire de nous un être de bien, alors, toute notre vie deviendra “ pétanque ”, c'est-à-dire les deux pieds bien plantés, bien alignés dans notre vie… ”

L’histoire des arts martiaux au Japon a plus de mille ans. Cette exposition présente l’évolution des techniques de combat des samouraïs au cours des siècles. Elle montre leur récente transformation en disciplines sportives, parfois même en sports olympiques, et la façon dont les mangas se les sont appropriées. Vaste tour d’horizon qui souligne le fait que pour le budô, c’est-à-dire l’ensemble des arts martiaux, il est essentiel de développer le corps mais aussi l’esprit.

Musashi Souken !

Afin de préserver le sabre des agressions extérieures (intempéries, poussières, chocs) en dehors de son utilisation, il est de coutume de le ranger dans un étui appelé katanabukuro (littéralement: sac à sabre).

The rain falls softly. The samurai draws his sword. Look, an umbrella. Either we just made it up, or that Haiku dates to around the 14th century. It is a little known fact that Samurai also carried umbrellas. Much as they later had to disguise their swords as canes, so they disguised their umbrellas as swords. In fact, there was one skilled umbrella maker who all the Samurai relied on for their Sword Handle Umbrellas. His name has been buried in the sands of time, but his plans have been preserved. And now, it is with great pleasure that we offer to you, the Samurai Sword Handle Umbrella.

The concept of the Family Crest in Japan is still alive today, although its identified history goes far back to the beginning of the 12th century. Generally, the Family Crest in Japan is called KA-MON, KA means "family with own genealogical trees" and MON means "crest" or "emblem". Similarly, in European history, the concept of Heraldry and use of unique Shield of Arms or Coat of Arms also existed, with its history tracing back to a similar period in the 12th century.

The picture above is a parade of the Top Ten among Japanese family crests, i.e. their basic designs have been most often used in cranking up other family crests since before the first thousand years. Besides the 18-petalled golden chrysanthemum, which is the Imperial Family's crest, the most widespread crest designs consist of the following (the clans that are mentioned first are those whose crests are shown as examples of each category in the main picture above):

Shapes are quite simple but considerable in their proportion. It's rumored that Louis Vuitton gets influenced by these shape.

Guess how many kamon, family crests, exist in Japan! Well, there are about 20,000 with each one of them having a rich historical background. Impressive! So, kamon with a hollyhock, chrysanthemum, star or moon design are just beginning: For today, PingMag introduces you to the genki world of Japanese kamon with tons of fabulous animal symbols.

Set of four Japanese family crest images. Includes a ginkgo leaf in the shape of a flying crane, three ginkgo leaves in a circle, three hollyhock or ginger leaves enclosed in a circle, and a basket weave diamond. These are images found on clothing and other Japanese items which designate the family lineage. Each of these images is 5/6 inch wide, a perfect size for a variety of applications including dominoes, slide mailers, polymer and metal clays for jewelry, one inch tiles, etc.

Sukashi Tetsu Tsuba These tsuba are made from forged iron (tetsu) plate and have designs or patterns cut into them. Some of the more elaborate could take up to three months to complete. Sukashi work is of two basic types: Ko-sukashi:   in negative relief, where a minor design is cut into the plate (e.g. a cherry blossom); these tsuba were often produced by swordsmiths (tosho) or armour-makers (katchushi or kacchushi), however many were also produced by tsubako of different schools and signed. Ji-sukashi:   in positive relief, where a large amount of the plate is removed, and the design is formed by the plate that remains. There are two forms of ji-sukashi: (a) yo- (you) sukashi, a positive silhouette where metal is removed to leave a solid shape; and (b) kage-sukashi, a type of negative silhouette where only the outline of the design remains, such as with a pencil drawing.
