The name “Iaido” itself is composed of three ideograms “I”, “AI” and “DO”.
It is also an individual art that involves the student and the sword struggling to achieve perfection of form. It is an art of precise motions with only centimetres of tolerance and split second timing. To the casual observer there is not a lot to see, however iaido is an exacting art that demands a high level of focus and mental concentration. The student sits or stands quietly, draws out a blade and cuts through the air all in one motion, then calmly returns the blade to the scabbard. The art of Iaido (ee-eye-doh) appears elegant and simple. About The Toronto Japanese Film Festival.
