A new side-project from kenshi247 editor George was unleashed on the unsuspecting public today:
kendo365
http://kenshi247.net/photoblog/
The premise of the website is simple: using an iphone, take and upload a creative kendo related picture everyday (if possible) for a year.
The aims of the project are two-fold:
- develop a better eye for creativity whilst taking pictures;
- share images from my daily kendo life with readers of kenshi247.net.
I hope people will enjoy looking at the pictures as much as I do taking them, cheers!!
p.s. the picture in the banner above is am iphone taken and edited pic
A men/debanagote attempt at a recent high school championship here in Osaka. The recent rulings on tsubazeria have made things a bit faster, and even more aggressive than before. Victory – in shiai and certainly in gradings – goes to those that take the advantage after all.
This particular shot is published on the request of Ben Sheppard, who was recently in Japan doing a bit of kendo.

An uchikomi-dai in my dojo, or at least the men of one. We hit these guys a lot, day in and day out, yet we never tend to give them much though. Faceless and nameless helpers.

Hundreds of teams take part in a shiai over 2 days in Osaka, Japan. Prior to the opening ceremony the teams grab what floor space they can and do about 20 minutes warm-up.
This picture captures a pause in the warm up, with the kenshi looking towards the camera. His team is one of the strongest in the Osaka area.

Please be sure and check out kenshi247.net’s gallery and flickr pages (leave comments here or on flickr) as well as kenshi247.net moderated flickr group the Art of Kendo which features excellent photography from around the world (and features work from a few kenshi247.net regulars).
For those interested in photography we will have an introduction to kendo photography online soon.
