Taiho-Jutsu Law and Order in the Age of the Samurai

Overview This course traces the history of Japanese martial arts from their initial foundations during the warring states period (Sengoku Period) and feudal culture (Edo Period) to the threshold of modern times. Providing insights into the history of both armed and unarmed martial arts, this course examines the historical and cultural backgrounds of martial arts development for a better understanding of current study and practices. The course considers the weapons, techniques, strategies, and principles of combat as employed by the Japanese warriors from ancient times to the more modern sport and recreational versions practiced today.

Audio/Visual Resources The Japanese Budo 31 minutes, NTSC video or DVD, English Language, Color, 2002 The Nihon Budokan not just a building in Tokyo where they hold rock concerts. It's also one of the leading budo organizations in Japan. The Nihon Budokan serves to preserve and promote the practice of classical and modern budo in Japan and around the world. The Japanese Budo was made by the Budokan to serve as an introduction to nine modern budo for people around the world. In English, it presents straightforward introductions to kyudo, kendo, naginata, jukendo, judo, karatedo, aikido, sumo, and shorinji kempo. With top notch photography and excellent demonstrations by leading teachers, this video presents a clear picture of some of the most popular forms of budo today.

Audio/Visual Resources Daimyo 30 minutes, NTSC video, English Language, Color, 1988 Daimyo explores and illustrates the paradoxical ideal known in Japanese as bunbu-ryodo - "the dual way of the pen and the sword" - the unique interaction of martial tradition and civilian arts that was central to the shaping of daimyo culture. Filmed on location in Japan, the program provides a sensory experience of medieval daimyo life, focusing on cultural activities such as the tea ceremony, Noh theater, calligraphy, swordplay, and archery from horseback. The daimyo contribution to Japanese culture has continued to evolve over the centuries and is both far-reaching and lasting.

Audio/Visual Resources Seven Samurai [Shichinin no samurai] 3 Hours 27 Minutes, NTSC video or DVD, Japanese with English subtitles, Black-and-White, 1954 Unanimously hailed as one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of the motion picture, Seven Samurai has inspired countless films modeled after its basic premise. Director Akira Kurosawa's 1954 masterwork is set in the 1600s when the residents of a small Japanese village are seeking protection against repeated attacks by a band of marauding thieves. Offering mere handfuls of rice as payment, they hire seven unemployed ronin (masterless samurai). These seven men eventually unite the villagers and fend off the bandits.
