In my contribution: (鹿岛 神 传) 直 心 影 流 - (Kashima Shinden) Jikishinkage Ryu some drawings were shown that were unfortunately not translated.
My thanks to the well-known author, professional translator and member of the club Nihonto SESKO Mr. Markus, who has taken the time to translate the drawings professionally. Of course I would not deprive the readers of this blog:
diagram of the Kama in relation to the Five Element theory:
The Chinese oracle teaching (ekigaki, 易学) naturally moving into our ryû held. For the swordsman of the time, who lived in the belief that his life could the next day to an end, Oracle as the I-Ching and horoscopes were as essential Kyusei (九星) is important. The latter, literally "Teaching of the nine stars," is one inherited from the old Chinese folk belief, based on the combination of the following nine "factors": white water, black earth, turquoise wood, green wood, yellow earth, white metal red metal, white earth and red fire. The diagram below shows the kamae positions with respect to the Five Element theory, specifically arranged for advantageous with oracle technical sense, in other words by Seigan (精 眼) in Jodan (上 段), of Jodan in wakigamae (胁 构), of wakigamae hasso (八 相), Seigan of Hasso Gedan (下 段), and in thoughts.
The advantages of the kamae exchange you should memorize the following scheme:
sôkoku (相 克) - Damage Cycle
water soaked earth → Earth choked wood → Wood makes metal blunt → metal takes heat (fire) → fire evaporates water
Wood → soil → water → fire → Metal
Sosho (相 生) - Nährungszyklus
can burn wood fire → ashes (by fire) enriches the soil with nutrients on → Earth brings ores (metal) show → trace elements (metal) animate water → water nourishes trees and plants (wood)
Wood → Fire → ground → Metal → Water
The five virtues and their corresponding element :
wood = jin humanity (, 仁)
metal = righteousness (gi, 义)
Fire = shin Ethical behavior, etiquette (rei, 礼)
water = wisdom (chi, 智)
Earth = Q (, 信)
