Kata (型・形) in Japanese Traditional Martial Arts as methodological tool complementing scientific methodology
- Kata
- Japanese traditional martial/performing arts
- Oriental thought
- Science philosophy
- Modern society
This content introduces Kata (型・形) that appear in the practice of traditional Japanese martial/performing arts, along with demonstrations by the instructor himself, with its characteristics as system for transmitting and sharing wisdom (Part 1). By the comparison with scientific methodology, we formulate the Kata approach as a methodological tool for dealing with subjects and objects that cannot be dealt with in science (Part 2). We also introduce the examples of Kata, in traditional medicine, and business thinking, that can be applied in modern times (Part 3).
