I love Japanese history when it comes to the warring state period. My first ever experience of the history was of me picking up a book on the topic from the school library as a kid because "It had funny writing" on the spine. Book was about Oda Nobunaga, and I fell in love with all the detailed pictures of weapons and armour. Next time I'm in Tokyo, I'll be visiting the graves of the 47 Ronin.

Took me by surprise the Naginata class was only imparted by old ladies, but I did some research and it looks like is mainly a woman's art and is studied by women more than men in Japan, is the opposite in Europe. I guess I learned something new thanks to this video, thanks Sharla.

Hey Sharla, thank you so much for all these Aizu videos!

And could you also please tell me the type of room you stayed at? Because I wasn't able to find a room for one there. Thanks!
