Ken-Hawaii Posted January 3, 2020 Report Posted January 3, 2020 I always wondered how "Zipangu" got into that mix. Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted January 3, 2020 Report Posted January 3, 2020 English has certainly changed since those days, but Cipango & Zipangu sure don't sound a lot like Japan or Nihon/Nippon/Yamato. I follow the article's logic, although it sounds like the Chinese came closest to naming Japan. 2 Quote
Brian Posted January 3, 2020 Author Report Posted January 3, 2020 Just as well. I would hate for the forum to have to be called the Zipangu-to Messageboard.Or the Cipango-to messageboard.Nippon-to Message Board doesn't sound to bad.Himomoto-to Message Board? ...umm....no..... Quote
16k Posted January 3, 2020 Report Posted January 3, 2020 But you have to remember those weren’t named in English first but in old Italian and later in 16th century Spanish and Portuguese. Obviously, all the other languages that followed borrowed from the original which was a mispronunciation in the first place. 1 Quote

Ken-Hawaii Posted January 21, 2020 Report Posted January 21, 2020 Particularly interesting, Peter, as our dojo trains in Muso Jikiden Eishin-Ryu iaijutsu, as passed down through the Tanimura lineage, going back some 350 years. And, since there are only two formally-recognized lineages - Tanimura-ha & Shimomura-ha - I'm not sure that the sensei in that article can be considered as authentic. And, despite three decades of iai training, I've never come across their dojo, either. 1 Quote
SAS Posted January 21, 2020 Report Posted January 21, 2020 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musō_Jikiden_Eishin-ryū There is always something new to learn. The people mentioned in the article are listed in the Wiki article also. 1 Quote

Ken-Hawaii Posted January 31, 2020 Report Posted January 31, 2020 Those "techniques" are ridiculous! Anyone who has done the least bit of kenjutsu/iaijutsu could point out dozens of mistakes in his overall approach. 3 Quote
Greg F Posted February 1, 2020 Report Posted February 1, 2020 Reminded me of the westerner made ninjutsu in the 80,s. I was waiting for him to catch the blade like in the ninja movies Sho Kosugi style. Ha Greg 1 Quote
