Kendo Hut
 
Kendo is composed of two kanji: "Ken", meaning sword, and "Do", meaning 'the way/path of'. Together the term is literally the "way of the sword". It is a martial arts tradition spawned by the traditional schools of swordsmanship (ryu) of ancient Japan, and was practiced by and large by the bushi, or samurai class of the era. As practice with real blades is inherently dangerous, the schools developed a dummy sword called a jukdo (shinai), and a set of protective equipment called bogu which protects the head (men), wrists (kote), chest (do), and groin (tare). Before the Showa period (1926-1989) it was customarily referred to as kenjutsu or gekken .
