Springtime in Japan is a season with a great meaning: it marks the awakening of nature and the blooming of flowers, particularly the magnificent Japanese cherry blossoms known as “sakura”. Still nowadays the Land of the Rising Sun keeps paying tribute to these flowers, historically symbols of the aesthetics and spirit of the samurai, with events dedicated to Budo.
Following this ancient tradition and thanks to the commitment of Taki no Kan Association in promoting Japanese martial and traditional culture, the fifteenth edition of the Budospring will be held in Siena, Tuscany, from May 1st to May 3rd.
The event, organized by a team effort of ASD Taki no Kan Verona, Shodan Dojo Sovicille and Judo CUS Siena in collaboration with the international organization Koryu Budo Seifukai, will offer three days filled with intensive lessons and meetings dedicated to high-level martial arts, featuring renowned masters from Italy and abroad, this making it an unique international event.
Sessions will be scheduled at staggered intervals, giving the participants the chance to explore and deepen their knowledge by taking part in different styles of martial disciplines. Beginners too will have the opportunity to experience both ancient and traditional arts as well as modern competitive disciplines.
The program will also feature workshops on Psychology in Budo and other events and workshops still to be fully defined.
Budospring is an unmissable event for martial arts and Japanese culture enthusiasts alike, as well as a valuable opportunity for those who wish to take their first steps into this fascinating world.
“Budospring” is organized in close collaboration with Koryu Budo Seifukai, an international organization dedicated to promoting and preserving Japanese martial traditions.
