Performing mokuso
Bujinkan demonstration

No heavy post-production really: some basic adjustments, some burning and dodging, a graduated filter here and there - all within the camera raw. It's the stage lights.

Another our performance on youtube: [link]
I am truly happy to know and train together with these fine people.

Thank you all for your faves and comments! I truly appreciate them!

Daily Deviation

Given 2009-02-15

Mokuso in smoke and blood by ~Deimantas feels like seeing the deviantart :meditate: icon in real life. From Wikipedia: Mokuso is a Japanese term for meditation, especially when practiced in the traditional Japanese martial arts. Mokuso (pronounced "moh-kso") is performed before beginning a training session in order to "clear one's mind", very similar to the zen concept of mushin. (Featured by ^estudio)

i'm surprized it got only 2 favs yet!
just wonderfull!
:iconconsumedbyshadows:
is this mokuso before or after fight?:P

if it is before:
why there is "blood"?
if its after:
why ninja is still near his victim?!
:icondeimantas:
Oh yeah. What about a female ninja during menstruation?
:iconconsumedbyshadows:
That's rather absurd..

so... what is this "red" ?
:iconshizukabushi:
Deimantas, this painting is amazing. You have the captured the true essence of Mokuso, silent inner reflection; meditation. I myself am a practitioner of Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu and I follow wholeheartedly the philosophies from the nine schools; which together make up the ancient system. This painting really captured my imagination and I actually sat in awe for a whole minute before saving it and making it my desktop wallpaper!

looks like an interesting set up performance.
