Why the Triangle Bow

will keep this in mind if I ever find myself in the presence of a Japanese emperor

Now I wanna know what Shogo thinks of the show Shogun. I was watching Behind the scenes footage and they talked about all of this type of etiquette and training the actors were put through so that they could walk, talk, and act like high ranking nobles from Feudal Japan

my man covers topics that take days to learn in less than 50 seconds 🗿

I briefly studied Yagyu Shinkage Ryu, and the bows in it are remarkably shallow (even the full seated bow/ “kowtow” is just a slight inclination with the hands to the sides just touching the floor in a mudra-like position) with the exception of bowing to Soke, where the head touches the floor. This apparently stems from the fact that the Yagyu family were vassals to the Tokugawa and served as their sword instructors, and that prestige put them in pretty high standing in regard to etiquette. Made for some funny moments when a local kendo club came to observe our practice group: “Why are you guys so rude?!” “Eh, that’s just how we bow.”

I was wondering why for about half a year, thanks to this video I no longer need to

in my kenjutsu association, we bow with our noses Under the triangle and with our forehead on the triangle (to accomplish roughly the same thing)

That’s very interesting, thank you!

"keeping your eyes on the opponent even when not looking at them" is a beautiful way to describe it

Wait what? There are ryuhas for tea ceremonies too? 😮

It's interesting how Japan has many different forms of bowing and they all have their own unique purpose

I send your videos to my son because you're awesome, thank you for all of the things you teach!

That's very interesting

Interesting! Thank you for explaining the differences in the details. Makes me wonder where else this happens to this degree.

Had a martial arts teacher claim you make the triangle because if then someone chopped your head of, it would be held in the triangle and not roll around. He actually believed it, the class was a lot more sceptical.

Thank you for letting us know

I am still waiting for a colab with the matcha samurai, teaching him the proper way.

Hey shogo!!! Does anyone still love Pokémon or into DBZ or super? Maybe if you make a video about anime show us the anime restaurants I saw online. But anything you put out is informative and always a pleasure seeing a happy smile from you. Thanks always man!

I watch this channel because the man is physically attractive

Strangely when you said decapitate, it made me laugh so hard while I was eating to the point a bunch of rice got stuck in my nose
