An examination of Kendo, the "senior" Japanese martial art, a form of stylized sword fighting using bamboo staves. This film was shot on location in Japan. It includes explanations of kendo formalities, its appeal at all levels of society, from school children to corporate executives. Several contests are filmed, and scenes showing how the "dojo" (martial arts gym) is maintained. Also includes scenes filmed in Tokyo's sports arena Budokan during a day-long demonstration of many old martial arts forms, some quite curious. With Donn Draeger, American-born expert on martial arts.
