Unlock the mystery of the samurai class, who ruled Japan for 7 centuries until 160 years ago. Experience Iaido, a dominant art of swordsmanship practiced by samurai. If you can imagine a samurai swiftly and deftly slicing a roll of straw mat, that is Iaido. After arriving at the Iaido dojo, change into samurai attire with a sword. Learn from a master what Iaido is about, the flow of experience, and slash a man-shaped cardboard with a sword. Those who sign up will enhance their experience by trying their hand at cutting a rolled tatami mat with a real sword.
