| Research Abstract |
This research aimed to collect basic kendo terminology from important literature in the field of kendo, make lexical information rich enough to construct a kendo lexicon, and, finally, create a multimodal kendo database. This, we believed, would finally serves our ultimate purpose of showing people overseas interested in our culture the correct features of kendo, which is one kind of budo in the Japanese tradition.
As a result, we selected both technical terms and their definitions from great books in the field of kendo, which, arranged alphabetically as authorized pairs, made up a kendo lexicon. With more than one digital camera used at once, we also succeeded in taking motion pictures of important basic technical movements in the practice performed by high-ranked kendoists, and edited them as clear to the viewer as possible. And, finally, the combination of the terminology in the lexicon with those pictures led to a multimodal encyclopedic system.
