Participated in 100th Anniversary of SHOWA the 49th Japan Kobudo Demonstration
On Sunday, February 1, 2026, 100th Anniversary of SHOWA the 49th Japan Kobudo Demonstration was held at the Nippon Budokan, with eight members of Daito-ryu Aikijujutsu, led by Kondo Masayuki Hombucho. We were extremely honored to be able to perform in the dignified atmosphere of the Nippon Budokan, the hall of fame for Japanese budo, in front of martial arts professionals and many discerning spectators.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Nippon Budokan, the Japan Traditional Martial Arts Association and all those involved in organizing and running this demonstration.
