Once upon a time, there was a beautiful Samurai ladies...

They are refined by Martial art

Takeda-ryu Yabusame

She looks so nice in pink formal attire.

Chokugen-ryu 

Chokugen-ryu Oo Nginata is a old school, using most longest Naginata in Japan.

That is called Benkei's Naginata. If it's true, it's continuing for more than 800 years !

Benkei lived in 12th century. Actually, it is said that Benkei has had 7 weapons and Naginata is his favorite. So that huge Naginata reminds people a Benkei's image.

Then women who armed with Naginata reminds Tomoe or Shizuka. They also lived 12th century, Heian-era in Japan and they are very good at Naginata, too. Shizuka's husband Minamoto Yoshitune is Benkei's master, and Tomoe's husband is Minamoto Yoshinaka. Minamoto clan is one of origin of  Samurai.

Chokugen-ryu is different from other Naginata schools. It needs special skill to use long and heavy Naginata. 

She is also good at Onoha Itto-ryu. 

Shinkage-ryu girls

Uranami perhaps. They have performed Empi there.

Empi or Ukihune.

Uranami

Very young girls performing Empi of Shinkage-ryu. They looks middle teen age.

Performing very beautiful, it's faithful to Basics. The girls has a great future.

This is same school's young ladies. Showing Ni-no-kiri (Zanshin) from Itto-ryodan.

How beautiful ! Perfect ! 

Basics makes them up perfect figure of Shinkage-ryu.

I am a great fan of her who wearing white. 

Lower Ai-Siegan. Kissaki 3 sun.

This distance, range is the limits of safety. One more step, dead or alive.

See result below.

White Uchi-dachi steps into the range. She has lost her Kote.

Blue Shi-dachi has been waiting for Uchi-dachi's attack to intercept.

I'm looking forward to see them again next year.
