Let's ask Shogo | Katana, Budo, & Kimono
@letsaskshogoAbout
I’m Shogo, born in Kyoto, raised in Hiroshima, and spent 6 amazing years in Michigan, USA. Later, I studied Mandarin at Beijing University—so you could say I’ve lived a pretty international life! Now, I’m back home in Kyoto, where I teach Kobudo (traditional martial arts with katana, staff, and chain weapons), practice Sadō (tea ceremony) and Noh theatre, and wear men’s kimono every single day. My dream is simple but big: 👉 To make all Japan lovers’ dreams come true—by carrying Japanese traditional culture into the next century. On this channel, you’ll find videos about: 🎌 Samurai culture and katana 🥋 Budo techniques 👘 Men’s kimono dressing and coordination …and many more topics that connect Japan’s past and present! If you love Japan or are learning Japanese, hit that Subscribe button and enjoy the journey with me! (All content is based on my personal study and experience, with full respect to other perspectives.)
