It was an absolute honour to capture the dedication and spirit at the 3rd Canadian National Iaido Championships. Hosted by Tokushikai, entrusted by the Canadian Kendo Federation, the event brought together over 75 practitioners from all over Canada at Carleton University.
At its core, Iaido embodies the true spirit of Reigi Saho—traditional Japanese etiquette rooted in mutual respect, mindfulness, and lifelong learning. Capturing this event deepened my appreciation for my own heritage, and I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with the entire team. I really hope these photos captured the energy of the day!
