Your objectives/goals of your group project:

1. To analyze the relationship between students and teachers of the “sword”

List some of research questions to answer through this group project

1. In what ways do they communicate with other 流派’s people?
2. How do they feel about Japanese culture?
3. Why do they learn the sword? Did your identity or personality change by learning the sword?
