Wall-to-wall meetings. Even conservative estimates say that we spend more than a quarter of our working lives in meetings, and that over 50% of that meeting time is wasted. Yet meetings appear central to the way process works in the vast majority of organizations and no-one seems to want to tell the truth about them. Can you embody leadership through meetings? Can you innovate effectively through meetings? Is creativity evolved in meetings?

Alexander Bennett shows how kendo evolved through a recurring process of "inventing tradition," which served the changing ideologies and needs of Japanese warriors and governments over the course of history. Kendo follows the development of Japanese swordsmanship from the aristocratic-aesthetic pretensions of medieval warriors in the Muromachi period, to the samurai elitism of the Edo regime, and then to the nostalgic patriotism of the Meiji state. Kendo was later influenced in the 1930's and 1940's by ultranationalist militarists and ultimately by the postwar government, which sought a gentler form of nationalism to rekindle appreciation of traditional culture among Japan's youth and to garner international prestige as an instrument of "soft power." Today kendo is becoming increasingly popular internationally. But even as new organizations and clubs form around the world, cultural exclusiveness continues to play a role in kendo's ongoing evolution, as the sport remains closely linked to Japan's sense of collective identity. 606 $aKendo 606 $aSwordplay$zJapan 610 $abamboo. 610 $abogu. 610 $acollective identity. 610 $acombat. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $aedo period. 610 $afighting styles. 610 $afights. 610 $aglobal sport. 610 $ahistory of kendo. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ainventing tradition. 610 $ajapan. 610 $ajapanese history. 610 $ajapanese martial arts. 610 $ajapanese studies. 610 $ajapanese. 610 $akendo. 610 $akenjutsu. 610 $amartial arts. 610 $amedieval schools. 610 $ameiji period. 610 $amilitary training. 610 $amuromachi period. 610 $anationalism. 610 $aphysical activity. 610 $apractice of honor. 610 $aprotective armor. 610 $asamurai. 610 $ashinai. 610 $asoft power. 610 $asports. 610 $aswordsmanship. 610 $atraditional culture. 610 $awar. 610 $awarriors. 615 0$aKendo. 615 0$aSwordplay 676 $a796.86 700 $aBennett$b Alexander$01664692 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813100603321 996 $aKendo$94022873 997 $aUNINA
