🔥⛩️北辰の火祭 – Hokushin no Hi-Matsuri ⛩️🔥
(North Star Fire Festival)
I would like to warmly invite everyone who is interested to the first 北辰の火祭 – Hokushin no Hi-Matsuri.
The festival will be held on 20 June 2026, from 15:00 to 23:00, at the Hokushin-Jinja, the spiritual heart of the new honbu (headquarters) of the Hokushin Ittō-ryū Hyōhō, which was recently relocated to:
Albisried 20
87663 Lengenwang
Germany
The event is free of charge and open to all those with an interest in authentic traditional Japanese culture and koryū (classical samurai schools of warfare).
This Matsuri is intended to become a recurring event in Europe, bringing together old friends and new faces in a spirit of tradition, friendship, and shared appreciation for Japanese culture.
Over the past months, I have been rather quiet online, as my attention was fully devoted to the construction of the Hokushin-Jinja and the Kokuryū-en, the Japanese garden in which the shrine was established, as well as teaching numerous international seminars, enbu, and other projects.
I sincerely hope to meet many familiar friends and many new acquaintances at this festival and at the events that will follow.
