古武道大会
杖道の他には、弓道、居合道、空手道、抜刀道、少林寺拳法等併せて23の武道の演武がなされた。
5月6日に名古屋城の天守閣が閉鎖され、新たに木造の天守閣が立てられるので、名残を惜しむ見物客が朝から大勢詰めかけ、入場チ
ケットを買う列が200メートルぐらい続いていた。天守閣に入るのには2時間待ちだったそうだ。
五月晴れで太陽が照りつけ、演武場に敷かれた赤い敷物がまぶしかった。
演武の見物客は例年になく多かった。
Traditional
Martial Art Performance
The 49th traditional martial art performance was held in
Nagoya Castle on May 5. Twenty-three traditional martial arts were performed,
including archery, Iaido, Karate, Batto, Shorinji-kenpo. I performed the stick
art of Shinto-musoryu Jyo-jyutsu. I demonstrated five Omote arts, 4 Chudan
arts, and 4 Tanjyo arts. It was such a fine May day that the red carpet on
which we performed was too bright.
Because the castle donjon will be demolished in two days (May 7) and a new
wooden one will be built in some years later, many people who wanted to say
farewell to the present donjon visited the castle. They made about a 200-meter
long line to buy the entrance ticket.
The number of the spectators of the martial art performances this year was
three times larger than usual.
