A mini documentary about the different faces of Kendo in Japan. The video was shot in various places within Okayama, Japan.

Big shout out to everyone who helped, including the people of Kenshinkan Dojo, Okayama Science University (Thanks Kawashima Sensei!), and the Kibi Youth Kendo Organization (Shout out to Taeko!).

  2. I've shared this video with our dojo members. Thank you for producing it. Hopefully this video inspires even just one member of our dojo to go to Japan and experience Kokenchiai with Japanese students and see how global the kendo community is.
