SHISOUAN

The Samurai Spirit Brings Peace.

梓想庵とは.

What is SHISOUAN?

SHISOUAN is a company that provides content for people around the world to learn the Japanese samurai spirit based on the concept of “nature + samurai + prayer”, and hopes for world peace through the mastery of the samurai spirit.

Nature

Japan is blessed with an abundance of beautiful nature, and at the heart of the samurai spirit lies the philosophy of harmony with nature. We deeply respect the natural world, which is increasingly threatened by global warming and environmental destruction, and we are committed to preserving its beauty—from ancient times to the future.

Samurai

The Samurai spirit embodies the principle that "the greatest strength lies in the katana that remains sheathed," a noble aspiration rooted in the absence of a desire for conflict. Our mission is to pass on this samurai spirit, so that many people can acquire this "most powerful technique" in their own lives.

Prayer

In providing services related to the samurai, we are committed to fostering mutual respect, supporting the vulnerable, and promoting the vision of world peace. It is our hope that our efforts will inspire and touch the hearts of as many people as possible.

私たちについて

Our team

President

Daisuke Arimoto ("Arisuke")

He trained under great teachers at first-rate dojo for yabusame and kyudo(Japanese archery), respectively. His desire to support the traditional martial art of yabusame, which is being lost, led him to open a "samurai experience spot" in Kamakura of the ancient capital, where he taught students and people abroad how to enjoy Japanese archery and sold imitation Japanese swords. Because of his many achievements and experiences, he is introduced in the media as a "samurai researcher". In yabusame, he drew a bow on a variety of horses and mastered the horsemanship, archery techniques and spirituality of the samurai on horseback. He is so skilled that he has even performed yabusame in front of former President Barack Obama.

Vice-President

Akemi Matayoshi ("Matami")

She has been active in yabusame and kyudo since she was young. She has been a member of SHISOUAN since its opening. Although she is not an expert in history, she is good at recreating the world of the beautiful real samurai with depth and weight.
