What is Nampa?


Nampa: Romance-seeking.
A duel for love-making.
Simply a-boy-meets-a-girl.


When a boy meets a girl, he will be either a winner or a loser. When he wins, he gets the pleasure he wants. When he loses, she will tarnish his honour.

Samurais abandoned their swords long time ago.
Some say no samurais live in modern Japan any more.
It is not true. It is just a superficial observation.

Look around!
If you look more carefully, you find samurais everywhere in Tokyo. On almost every street corner you can find modern-day samurais demonstrating their swordsmanship without swords.
Nampa-shi (romance-seekers) are the true descendants of samurais. They pick up girls with smooth words of spiritual swords.
