Samurai Spirit Sword Experience

-Completion of Bushido As a reaction to having come so close to death in this simulated experience, you can feel life with all five senses. Bushido does not end with the experience of wielding a sword, writing a death poem, or donning armor. You learn everything by understanding the meaning of harakiri the samurai’s ultimate act of honor. The meaning of “how to die beautifully” in Bushido is the paradox of how to live beautifully. In other words, it means to protect one’s honor, uphold one’s sense of justice, and go down with dignity. Traditional Rituals—Experiences “Water for the Dying” The ultimate purification to wash away the impurities of this world, and at the same time, a ritual to complete one’s acceptance of death. “Death Poem” Proof that one’s heart remains completely untroubled even in the face of death. It is not merely a farewell; it is a cry from a highly refined soul, left for posterity to convey “what one dedicated one’s life to and how one lived it to the fullest.
