Samurai Lesson: Kenshin meets Shinryu
On May 30th 2025, just after Kenshin joined our band, we had some awesome moment.
We visited Shinryu, our previous drummer and known as “Christian Samurai”, at his dojo in Tokyo.
That’s when Kenshin, our new young drummer -19 years old at that point, met Shinryu.
The purpose of the visit was to continue the tradition of “Christian Samurai”.
Kenshin learned sword technique (batto) from Shinryu.
The sword was passed on, as well as the spirit of samurai.
We prayed together and now Kenshin is ready to rock for Jesus, with the tradition of Japanese heavy metal and the history of ancient Kirishitans.
It took us for a while to post this.
Maybe the editing is not the best but here is the whole movie. At the beginning Kenshin didn’t know how to handle the sword, but soon he became good and showed us some awesome moves.
It’s all God’s guidance. We will follow Him and fulfill our mission.
This movie is a document for that kind of divine guidance and faith.
