Lets ask Shogo | Your Japanese friend in Kyoto | Why the Triangle Bow @LetsaskShogo | Uploaded 3 months ago | Updated 7 hours ago
In many Iai Ryuha styles, you are taught to put your nose into the triangle you make when you bow sitting down. Why do we bow like this? It’s not only because it looks the most polite. This is to protect your face in case someone presses your head down. This is a fine example of keeping one's eyes on the opponent even when not looking at them. It’s also important not to show the back of your neck when you bow. This is something you would have done when you get your head decapitated. In my tea ceremony Ryuha, we bow like this to not touch the floor as much as possible. In the past, Noh plays were performed for high-ranking samurai, so the hands are opened wide, and the head is bowed as deeply as possible. Since the bowing style differs from Ryuha to Ryuha, please pay attention to the details of the bowing.
