HitokageProduction | Demon's Sword 鬼の剣 👺 Youkai Kata with Flaming Katana ⛩️ @Hitokage | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Youkai 妖怪, Ayakashi アヤカシ, Oni 鬼, these supernatural beings appear in many Japanese stories. I was inspired by anime such as Natsume Yuujinchou, Mushishi, Demon Slayer, Bleach, Tonari no Youkai-san, etc. I do not train kendo, iaido, or kenjutsu, so my form with katana must look weird but I tried my best to film something like a katana kata with the effect of heavenly supernatural fire. I created the shide 紙垂 with the shimenawa 標縄 rope, which is often located in Shinto shrines in Japan, to create a bit of Japanese atmosphere in a European forest. Also tried to imitate the Jizō 地蔵 statues with the typical red bibs and caps.
Special thanks to @chikugensai, an exceptional traditional Japanese flute artist, who recorded the music with shinobue flute:
