Intern’s report : My activity today in Samurai Kembu Theater.
(Kyoto, 17 October 2019)
Hi, All.
It is me again, Calista. I would like to share my activity today in Samurai Kembu Theater.
Today, I after finished cleaning, I learned how to use katana (Japanese sword) with Hisho Sensei. It’s around an hour training. I tried many times. But, my opinion I still cannot do it perfectly. I really need to do practice.

| Hisho Sensei showed me how to move the katana correctly |
 |
| Raise your katana |
 |
| Swing your katana from up to down right in front your belly |
After training with Hisho Sensei finished, I tried recording Samurai Kembu Lesson given by Tomoda Sensei. Last time, I tried typing directly for Samurai Kembu Lesson given by Hisho Sensei, because I could not catch up the words and type it in the same time. This time, I hope I could understand better.
While recording it, I helped putting on Samurai costumes to the customers. (I think this time is a little bit better, since I finally could put on hakama (traditional pants in Samurai Costumes) and also doobi (belt for keeping your katana) to one customer, though it’s still not too good.

| The man wearing black kimono with blue-white folding fan is my first complete costume-model YEAY >,< |
Then, I and other staffs took break time for an hour. Next activity, Ryuu Sensei trained me kembu performance. Btw, kembu means sword dance. Ryuu Sensei informed me that I will have kembu performance on November 3.

| Ryuu Sensei trained me to do basic movements for Kembu Performance |
 |
| Trying ** times for basic kembu movements =,=” |
 |
| Still wrong movements =,=” |
I was so happy today for learning kembu again, but at the same time I also felt so tired. Being a samurai is very difficult. Not like we see on Samurai X anime hahaha.
Thank you very for the training Hisho Sensei and also Ryuu Sensei….Sorry for making you have headache >.<“
See you again for my next activity ^^
