Jodo Demonstration during the 2019 Kagamibiraki & Budo Hajime, at the Nippon Budokan.

Demonstration by Fujisaki Kōrō, Jodo Shihan 8th Dan, and Tsuriga Toshio, Jodo Shihan 8th Dan.

The Kagamibiraki is a traditional ceremony which translates to "opening the mirror" (symbolically).
Taking its roots in the Shogunate, it is strongly linked to Budo practice and it is natural that the Budo Hajime (first practice of the year) is celebrated at the same time.

At the Nippon Budokan, the ceremony is held at the beginning of January and consists in:
The Kagamibiraki, with a historical reconstruction (in armor).
Budo Demonstrations (by the 9 "official Budo").
Budo Hajime (first practice of the year, all practitioners present can practice).
The Oshiruko kai. “Oshiruko” is a traditional and popular sweet azuki bean paste soup with mochi (which symbolize the sharing of the mochi that was broken before during the ceremony).
