Lets ask Shogo | Your Japanese friend in Kyoto | Why Chiburui (Blood Shake) is Meaningless @LetsaskShogo | Uploaded 3 months ago | Updated 6 hours ago
At the end of a Kata of Iai/Kenjutsu, there’s this motion called the Chiburui which means “blood shake.” However, as many people discuss, these movements are insufficient to remove blood from the blade. Then why do most Ryuha styles have these movements?
1. A form of Zanshin
2. A ritual of Shintoism
By performing the Chiburui, you are bringing the tip of the katana toward the opponent to prepare for another attack. In Japanese Budo martial arts, maintaining awareness even after defeating an opponent is called “Zanshin.” However, some Chiburui do not involve pointing the tip of the sword at the opponent. In such cases, there may be a religious significance. In Shinto, the indigenous religion of Japan, blood is considered impure. Therefore, Chiburui can also mean purifying the blood-stained katana before sheathing it. However, with over a hundred Ryuha of iai, so not everything fits into these two reasons. What are your thoughts? Please let me know in the comments.
