CRAFT: The Last Samurai in Aizu
Aizu, in western Fukushima Prefecture, is home to Bushido – the Samurai Spirit – and Japan’s few remaining Samurai warriors.
Dedicated to following the way of Bushido, the ‘Last Samurai of Aizu’ are renowned for their skill and loyalty to Japanese tradition. Here, three French fencing champions travel to Aizu to learn the art of Kendo from Mr. Naganuma – a living samurai. Each preserving their own culture, samurai warrior meets French knight in a fascinating exchange of heritage and skill.
