About Tokyo Samurai Adventure ICHI
Based in Tokyo, we share captivating insights into the world of Samurai and Ninja.
We bring the world of Samurai culture to life in Tokyo. Our mission is to create unique and exciting entertainment that truly reflects Japanese traditions. We offer various Samurai tours in Tokyo, so step into the world of the Samurai and experience the essence of Japan like never before!
We are experts in Tate. The genre of Tate may be somewhat difficult to understand. It is not Kendo, nor does it involve actual cutting. What we portray is the samurai of the Edo period.
After Tokugawa Ieyasu unified Japan in the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, peace was established, and samurai no longer needed to fight. As a result, they shifted from warriors to bureaucrats. However, we believe that the samurai spirit, which values etiquette and respect, remains deeply rooted in Japanese culture.
What we want to convey through Tate is not the image of samurai from the Warring States period, but the spirit of Bushido as practiced by the peaceful Edo-period samurai—where honor, respect, and self-discipline were central.
“Begin with respect, end with respect.” To help participants experience this samurai etiquette, our Tate class starts with meditation to calm the mind. We aim to pass down the culture of Tate accurately to future generations.
