Japanese martial arts of karate as their long-cherished wish

..Strictly speaking,Okinawa, birth place of Karate,had been irrelevant to
Japanese Samrai not at all. Okinawa and Japan were another Nation until
1879. Okinawa was Ryukyu kingdom, and strongly infuruenced by China. So,
in Karate Dojo in Okinawa,there  are no respect to Japanese Samurai's God such as Kashima-daimyoujin(鹿島大明神)and Katori-daimyoujin (香取大明神). ※picture;a typical Japanese dojo So there are no culter,no philosophy on humanbeing and life from Zen philosophy in Okinawa. When the foreigner who searches a Samurai spirit (Busido) come to Okinawa ,his wish is never achieved. Karate had been not able to become an equal member of Japanese Budo such as Kendo, Judo, Kyudo. One reason is Japanese martial arts values a philosophy more than a technique. 沖縄は武士道や侍文化は歴史的には共有していない。沖縄が日本国に編入されたのは19世紀である。ゆえに沖縄の空手道場には禅に源を持つ日本武士道の作法も、鹿島大明神や香取大明神の神前も存在しない。海外の空手修行者がそれを期待してやってくるとしたら、その点についてだけは失望するだろう。 Chojun Miyagi 、Kenwa Mabuni and Gichin Funakoshi's earnest wishes were to have added Okinawan Karate to affiliate with Japanese Budo. They persisted the position in Dai Nippon Butokukai(Greater Japan Martial Virtue Society ;1895-1946) and efforted the acquisition of Renshi title, Kyoshi title in DNB. Consequently, they were accomplished. However, Karate shared neither the history nor the philosopy of Japanese Budo.It is ,so to speak, a nuance of "Odd one out". So, afterwards for a long term, the image of Karate was barbarous lower-rank martial arts. 船越義珍や宮城長順、摩文仁賢和らの悲願は地方武術にすぎなかった空手を日本国の正当な武道のひとつに加えることにあった。彼らは実に意欲的に旧制大学の学生に教授し、旧制(1895-1946)大日本武徳会の錬士や教士の称号を獲得するために奔走した。しかしながら空手は琉球の摩訶不思議な武術というイメージは戦後しばらく固着し、逆にそれを前面に出して新規市場を開拓した勢力もあった。 |
