Knackered and hungry, we stopped by a soba shop for some breakfast and this old guy tentatively approaches us and asks - in English - if we'd like to watch an Iaido demonstration nearby. Sure enough, next time we saw him he'd changed from denim to his lopping-heads-off-gear and we got to see some sword-swinging action with cherry blossoms and drizzle. Was cool.
The really fast sparring was done with mock wooden swords...
...but the real things looked plenty sharp enough
and these guys were just scary.
