The Kagami biraki is a traditional ceremony that translates to "opening the mirror" (symbolically).
Taking its roots in the Shogunate, it is strongly linked to Budo practice and, naturally, the Budo Hajime (the first practice of the year) is celebrated at the same time.
At the Nippon Budokan, the ceremony is held at the beginning of January and consists in:
- The Kagami biraki, with a historical reconstruction (in armor).
- Budo Demonstrations (by the 9 "official Budo").
- Budo Hajime (the first practice of the year, all practitioners present can practice).
- The Oshiruko kai. “Oshiruko” is a traditional and popular sweet azuki bean paste soup with mochi (which symbolizes the sharing of the mochi that was broken before during the ceremony). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this last part has been canceled for sanitary reasons.

That looks like fun. I wish Jukendo was more popular here in the States.
