Samurai Sword Dance Lesson at Samurai Kembu Theater in Tokyo

Learn and practice the traditions of Japanese samurai with the elegant yet martial kembu sword dance. Kembu, literally sword dancing, was designed and practiced by samurai to prepare themselves before battle.

Later, the practice changed to ensure sword work could be passed on and taught, even when the samurai class was prohibited from openly carrying swords.
