Shinken Chuugi

The Japanese term chuugi consists of two characters.
The first one, chuu, means loyalty and devotion. The second part - gi - is the obligation to act in accordance

with the code and absolute balance of spirit - no attachment to anything.
Shinken, on the other hand, means a perfectly prepared, ready-to-cut blade.
Shinken Chuugi is therefore faithfulness flowing from the heart. A vow to commit myself not only to the sword itself, but to all the values of the Bushi Code.
