Koryu Bugei - Missouri Botanical Gardens September 3 - 5

[morpheus]

The koryu bugei will again be demonstrated at this year's Japanese Festival at the Missouri Botanical Gardens in St. Louis.

The arts demonstrated will be Tenshin Shoden Katori Shinto ryu, Yagyu Shinkage ryu, Shinto Muso ryu, Takeuchi ryu and Toda ha Buko ryu. Demonstrators will include Phil Relnick, Nobuko Relnick, Meik Skoss, Diane Skoss, Dave Lowry, Wayne Muromoto and Clark Watanabe.

Again this is an incredible opportunity to see these classical Japanese arts demonstrated in public.

Aside from the koryu demonstrations the garden itself is incredible and well worth the price of admission.

Hope some of you can make it out.

The demonstrations were a big success again this year. We had to cut the demonstration short on Saturday due to rain - The Yagyu Shinkage ryu and Shinto Muso ryu portion of the demonstration were omitted. The Sunday demonstration drew a pretty large crowd and had demonstrations from all five groups. We had representatives from Massachusetts, Hawaii, New Jersey, Tennessee and Kentucky.
