Why is there a martial art for everything in Japan.?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

In japanese martial arts, theres an art for everything…

Hand-to-Hand – Jujutsu

Sword – Kenjutsu, Kendo

Spear – Sojutsu

Staff – Bojutsu

Shurikenjutsu, jojutsu, ect.

Why aren’t they all taught in the same art like Kung Fu.

Typically Kung Fu teaches all weapons… Theres no such thing as a chinese art that teaches weapons only. School vary, but no matter what if you want to learn how to use a chinese straight sword, you have to do Kung Fu, and learn Hand-to-Hand and other weapons, but in Japanese martial arts, if i want to learn just the Katana, i learn Kenjutsu or Kendo.

What are some good liberal arts/art colleges that also have strong language programs and study abroad programs?

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

My main focus is some sort of art major. I say liberal arts, though, because I’m also interested in taking creative writing, psychology, philosophy, etc.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be a liberal arts college, but it must have a good art program.

As many languages as possible is appreciated, too. Haha.
I’m very interested in studying over sees.
Germany, Japan, Russia, or Italy, preferably.

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I’d love to hear them!

How can I repair a vintage, art deco cigarette lighter by Masai?

Friday, August 27th, 2010

I have a vintage black panther art deco cigerette lighter, made by Masai in Modern Japan. So maybe around 1950?

Anyway, it sparks, but the fuel – butane – that I put in it leaks out. How can I repair this lighter? It looks like it attached inside the panther’s head. I don’t know how to pull the tank out.

Is this lighter even repairable?
