Once again this year, our Festa was held as a fitting conclusion to the year.
As it marks its 21st edition and a new beginning, this year’s Festa has chosen the theme:
“Our fists, become the wind of peace.”
This theme embodies the thoughts of SOKE NAKAZAKI, expressing not only strength, but also suppleness—
to penetrate and move through like the wind itself.
And now at last, the curtain rose on the opening of the event.
Next came the introduction of honored guests. Despite their busy schedules, respected members of the assembly and advisory teachers attended to offer their congratulations.
This year marks a significant turning point for Yushinmon. As a declaration of resolve for the next five and ten years, the instructors lined up on stage and pledged to continue dedicating themselves to the development of Yushinmon and the guidance of the next generation.
Representatives from each region then performed demonstrations that each group had prepared.
This was followed by the screening of a video titled “Ichinen no Ayumi (A Year’s Journey).”
Although the year has passed in the blink of an eye, it was filled with many moments and paths that remain etched in our hearts.
Finally, SOKE NAKAZAKI presented a special demonstration of Iai. Every single movement was devoid of waste, and a keenly sharpened atmosphere enveloped the stage.
The finale was a song performance. Our special guest performers, singers Ogura Shinji and EMIKO, treated us to wonderful songs. It became a joyful moment that fully engaged the audience. We will continue to offer our full support as Yushinmon.
At the ending, a lottery was held, and the curtain closed on a cheerful and satisfying conclusion for everyone.
