Samurai Sword Soul Show - 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm

Samurai Sword Soul (SSS) is a samurai theater company, founded by Yoshi Amao in 2003. Since then, Samurai Sword Soul’s numerous performances: an engaging mix of comedy routines, humanistic-theme drama, and thrilling sword fights, have been attracting a wide range of audiences in New York. Their sword technique is based on Waki Ryu Tate, which was created by Keihei Wakisaka; the spirit of Seido Karate; and Kendo (Japanese fencing) technique. Now imbuing traditional Japanese sword fighting arts with a more contemporary essence and their own artistry, they have established a unique “Samurai Sword Soul Style.”
