The longest day - Kenjutsu seminar on Kokino

Posted on Categories Home

The warriors of Bujinkan Macedonia, with a kenjutsu seminar on Tatikev Kamen in the vilage of Kokino, will welcome the longest day in the year known among the people as Soncestoy.

The equinox meaning the time when the day is the longest, and the night the shortest, in ancient times was known as the time of transition between spring and summer. On one of the oldest observatories in the world, the members of our dojo, with swords in their hands through training one of the oldest martial arts known in the world – Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto ryu Bujutsu, will welcome the sunrise at 04.24 hours.

The name of our organization Taiyou e no Michi, our Mon, the symbol of the country from which the arts we practice stem from, as also the strength of the Sun in the mythology and the consciousness of the Macedonians – is reason enough to come together and welcome the longest day in the year.

The seminar is open to all members of our dojo, for all lovers of nature and Japanese martial arts, as is to all supporters and friends.

The seminar tax is a symbolic 500 denars, while for those that took part in one of our two past seminars ( 10.000 B.C. and Kenjutsu under the Stars of Lipac ), the event is free.
