"Kenbu, also known as ginkenshibu, is a Japanese classical performing art that combines dance with a sword or fan, and shigin (or gin?ei) recitals of Chinese or Japanese poems with unique melodies. Kenbu allegedly originated from performances by young people in the late Edo period who, concerned about the future of Japan, took to the stage while wielding their swords. Kenbu eventually became popular as a stage art across Japan in the late 19th century, and can be understood as a performing art that has been conserving the samurai spirit and culture up to the present age. For people unfamiliar with kenbu, this book is a "beginner's guide" so to speak that outlines the characteristics of kenbu as a performing art, while also offering tips and suggestions regarding its practice and appreciation."
