The current research is highlighting prevailing techniques by athletes from different countries. Application aim is to support the expansion of the kendo. Material and Methods: DVDs containing video of 240 matches among competitors from five countries that represent the podium winners in both the men’s and women’s categories of the 16th World Kendo Championship Tournament were used in this study. The researchers classified all of the effective strikes into the following categories: (1) ma- jor technique classifications (2)datotsu-bui (3) technique sub-categories. Chi-square tests were used to com- pare the usage frequencies of the different techniques analysed in the study between men and women and the respective countries included in the study.

    SECTION 1 MARTIAL ARTS IN EAST ASIA CHAPTER I A CROSS-CULTURAL STUDY OF JAPANESE BUDō IN THE GLOBAL ERA Uozumi Takashi CHAPTER II A COMPARISON OF CHINESE AND JAPANESE MARTIAL ARTS Lin Boyuan CHAPTER III THE DEVELOPMENT OF KOREAN MARTIAL ARTS IN THE POSTWAR ERA Park JooBong CHAPTER I A CROSS-CULTURAL STUDY OF JAPANESE BUDō IN THE GLOBAL ERA Uozumi Takashi A CROSS-CULTURAL STUDY OF JAPANESE BUDō IN THE GLObaL ERA INTRODUCTION Within the context of today’s rapid globalisation of politics, economy and society, the global proliferation of Japanese budō has become a pressing matter as well. Budō, or the Japanese “martial ways” are based on martial culture which evolved during the Edo period (1603–1867) in bushi (samurai) society, and was later reorganised and modernised during the Meiji period (1868–1912). After the Second World War, budō was “sportified” and subsequently internationalised; however, the introduction and subsequent phenomenal development of budō in foreign countries has brought to light the need to understand the complex dynamics seen in its globalisation. A study on “global budō” must consider the problems that Japanese budō will have to endure while it undergoes the process of globalisation, and thereby unveil new potential for budō culture in contemporary society. We need to explore both the obvious and inconspicuous aspects of budō, and seek to somehow retain its essence. Nowadays, Korean and Chinese martial arts are also embracing globalisation. Modern sports are commercialising which brings to the fore numerous issues and complexities, and it seems that we are approaching an important turning point in global sports culture across the board.

Abstract Folk sports are the countertype of modern sports: invented traditions, bolstered by tangible ritual and intangible myth, played by the common folk in order to express a romantic ethnic identity. Like other cultural forms, traditional sports and games around the world are becoming marginalized in the face of modernization and globalization. In 2003, UNESCO ratified the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in an attempt to counter such trends of cultural homogenization. As elements of intangible cultural heritage, folk sports now fall under the auspices of UNESCO safeguarding policies.

  • Kendo Vocalization by Japanese and Chinese 国際社会系(渡邊ゼミ
    Kendo vocalization by Japanese and Chinese 国際社会系(渡邊ゼミ) S116121 森松滉平 Kohei Morimatsu Abstract Kendo vocalization by Japanese and Chinese Aim The purpose of the present study is to investigate the accuracy of Japanese and Chinese kendo vocalization. Methods Sixteen healthy Japanese (21.9±0.8 (21–23) ys) and Chinese (21.9±0.8 (15–33) ys) participated in this study. Five of the word, including the designation of a strike part of Kendo, was carried out speech recognition using the application for voice recognition. Evaluation was made based on whether the recognized word was accurate, and the correct answer rate of each word was calculated from five trials for each word. Results Significant greater answer rates were shown in Japanese compared with Chinese (p < 0.05). Comparing five words among Japanese, there was a significant difference between “MEN” and “KOTE” (p < 0.05). Comparing five words among Chinese, there was a significant difference between the “MEN” and “KOTE” pair and the “MEN” and “TSUKI” pair (p < 0.05). Conclusion It was suggested that Chinese could not vocalize the designation of a strike part of kendo naturally, and that there was a difference with Japanese in the part of Ki(mind) that is the condition of become Ippon. 日本人と中国人による剣道の発声 目的 本研究の目的は、日本人と中国人による剣道の発声の正確性を調査することである。方法 16 人の健 康な日本人(21.9±0.8 (21–23) 歳)と中国人(21.9±0.8 (15–33) 歳)がこの研究に参加しました。剣道の打突部 位呼称を含む 5 つのワードを、音声認識アプリを用いて音声認識を行った。認識されたワードが正確で あるか否かで評価し、正答率を計算した。結果 日本人の正答率が「メン」「コテ」「ドウ」「ツキ」におい て、中国人と比較して有意に高かった(p < 0.05)。日本人の中での５つの言葉では「メン」と「コテ」に有 意差が見られた(p < 0.05)。中国人の中での５つの言葉では「メン」と「コテ」のペアと「メン」と「ツキ」

  • From the Desk of the Consul-General
    From the Desk of the Consul-General Consul-General Dr. Kazayuki Katayama September 2013-August 2015 The Consulate-General of Japan in Detroit Detroit, MI August 2015 From the Desk of Consul General of Japan in Detroit (Preface) I have served for nearly two years as the Consul General of Japan, in my jurisdiction of both Michigan and Ohio, from September, 2013 to August, 2015. I focused on the promotion of economics, politics, culture, public relations education and consular affairs, as well as the expansion of person-to-person exchanges in various areas between Japan and the 2 states. The consulate opened in 1993 and I am the 10th Consul General. During my term, I often visited local governments, companies, universities and colleges, Japanese weekend schools, branches of the Japan-America Society and the Japanese associations in various parts of the 2 states in order to foster the understanding of Japan’s policies, including its foreign policy, among the Americans here. I traveled to Ohio 66 times and Michigan (beyond Metro Detroit) 45 times. I visited universities/colleges 43 times, companies 24 times and Japanese weekend schools 14 times. I recited approximately 110 speeches and lecture and invited guests to my residence, to serve them Japanese food and Sake, about 200 times. My goals in participating in these activities were twofold. First, I aimed to convince Americans that Japan is a trustworthy and strong partner to the U.S. Second, I earnestly set out to provide quality services to local Japanese residence and portray the Consulate General as both conscientious and dependable.

There were also many activities that included Kendo does not have a long tradition in Slovenia, kendo demonstrations in order to popularise as opposed to other European countries like kendo in Slovenia. In April 2001, the European Italy, France, Belgium, England, Germany and Kendo Championship (EKC) was held in Italy, Hungary, and it is not surprising that the kendo during which the KFSLO became a member of the community in those countries is far bigger.
