As you can see on the site, I want to open a blog to greet you again.
My ninja name is written as 空世 and read as Kuze. I am an optimist with a strong sense of curiosity (except for horror stories), justice, and motherhood.
My favorite name was given to me by the master of my dojo, who told me to “become a ninja who is active all over the world (世）, like flying in the sky（空）.
Now, Let me tell you why I became a ninja.
Ever since I did a homestay as a student and even when I lived abroad after that, I have been frustrated by my inability to explain “Japan” well in my own words.
For example, I felt something was missing while wearing yukata, serving sake and home-style sushi, and showing the Bon Odori dance at a festival to introduce Japan. I want to find something more about Japan that I can communicate through my own profound experience.” As the years passed, my desire to “find a Japan that I can communicate through my deeper experiences” grew stronger.
After returning to Japan, I visited a martial arts dojo and learned much about ninja. That’s where I entered this world in the second half of my life. My family and friends were surprised and cheered me up with various reactions (laughs).
So why did “ninja” move me so much? There are three main reasons.
＜１＞ Ninjas were more sober and spiritual communicators than I had expected (“正心”（right mind) is an absolute requirement for ninja)
＜２＞ their craftsman-like creativity and precision were exceptional
(their perverse attention to detail is demonstrated in their disguise techniques and weapon making)
＜３＞ their ability to act boldly when the moment called for it (a well-crafted audacity that was neither reckless nor dependent on trickery).
For all these reasons, I was struck by their unexpectedness, “Well, what interesting people who are not bound by existing frameworks! I was shocked by their unexpectedness. (This is my personal opinion.)
At the same time, I felt these three characteristics might be inherent to the Japanese. I thought, “Wouldn’t it be interesting if we could express Japan through the ninja? I was excited.
Of course, I greatly respect Bushido, as well as the culture and art of the past and the life of ordinary townspeople.
But for some reason, I wanted to express it myself! I thought, “…… Ninja”!
That is why I hope you will enjoy the many valuable techniques I am sharing while I am still in training. I will share with you a ninja health method for best performance, the art of communication for obtaining information, and how to regulate your mind and body under strong stress!
