It is a compound of the root ‘bu’, which refers to war, and ‘dō’, which means ‘the path’, and refers to the lifestyle that accompanies the discipline. The first occurrences of the world Budō date back to the 16th century, when they were used to describe the lifestyle of the samurai.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe philosophy demonstrates how important lifestyle and internal discipline are to the Japanese people, giving attention to how you should develop yourself and your mind in order to perform better. The only enemy in modern budō is oneself. This mindset is evident in the craft of all the artists whose work has gone into this bottle: From the master distillers who have dedicated themselves to the produce of exceptional whisky; the street artists we enlisted to produce the artwork on these bottles; and the sportspeople who continue to practice the technique, and walk the path, of modern martial arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"banner-308590000\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- bg-layers --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .banner-layers --\u003e\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .banner-inner --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/live-dekanta-ig-3.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/martial-arts-1600x900.png\" alt=\"martial-arts\" srcset=\"https:\/\/live-dekanta-ig-3.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/martial-arts-1600x900.png 1600w, https:\/\/live-dekanta-ig-3.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/martial-arts-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/live-dekanta-ig-3.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/martial-arts-510x287.png 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .banner --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dekanta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/budosport_12312.m4v\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .section-content --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"section_1250326405\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .section-bg --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"row-1927557260\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"banner-1257468377\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- bg-layers --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .banner-layers --\u003e\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .banner-inner --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/live-dekanta-ig-3.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Reyne-Hirsch-Daniel-Lam-1600x900.png\" alt=\"Reyne-Hirsch-\u0026amp;-Daniel-Lam\" srcset=\"https:\/\/live-dekanta-ig-3.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Reyne-Hirsch-Daniel-Lam-1600x900.png 1600w, https:\/\/live-dekanta-ig-3.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Reyne-Hirsch-Daniel-Lam-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/live-dekanta-ig-3.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Reyne-Hirsch-Daniel-Lam-510x287.png 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .banner --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dekanta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/investment-V6-Jec-1.m4v\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Upper Echelon Of Single Malt\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to breathe life into such an iconic collection, it was imperative to select a whisky that would turn heads. The spirit needed to showcase the superb craftsmanship of Japanese distillers that have put the industry on the map. In the mind of any enthusiast this left only one choice, a cask from the legendary Karuizawa Distillery. A cask of 1981 Karuizawa was selected for The Budō Collection and allowed to continue ageing in its sherry cask until it displayed the best possible character and array of notes imaginable. At 35 Years Old, the liquid was smooth, elegant and bursting with a wealth of incredible aromas and flavours, and so the cask was bottled in 2017 to retain these characteristics while waiting patiently for its worldwide debut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .section-content --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"section_1495400752\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .section-bg --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"row-2090351590\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eImmortalizing The Whisky Of Legends\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust like many master artists only appreciated after their death, Karuizawa did not rise to stardom until after the stills were stopped. It can be said that the distillery was ahead of its time in pioneering a spectacular sherried single malt during a time when premium spirits lacked the fervent following they enjoy today. By the time that single malts began rising to prominence, it was too late. Difficult financial conditions forced Karuizawa to close in 2000. All of the facilities were dismantled, but fortunately the remaining casks were saved to allow a grand finale for a distillery that played such an influential role in transforming the Japanese Whisky industry. The Budō Collection brings Karuizawa back to life with a stunning set that immortalizes the distillery’s prominent place in the history of whisky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"banner-1494585153\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- bg-layers --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .banner-layers --\u003e\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .banner-inner --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/live-dekanta-ig-3.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/James-Bowker-1-1600x900.png\" alt=\"James-Bowker\" srcset=\"https:\/\/live-dekanta-ig-3.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/James-Bowker-1-1600x900.png 1600w, https:\/\/live-dekanta-ig-3.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/James-Bowker-1-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/live-dekanta-ig-3.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/James-Bowker-1-510x287.png 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .banner --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dekanta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Karuizawahistory-V4-Jec-1.m4v\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .section-content --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"section_1536382339\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .section-bg --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"row-1304760752\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"banner-626458683\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- bg-layers --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .banner-layers --\u003e\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .banner-inner --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/live-dekanta-ig-3.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Liam-Hiller-and-Stu-Cox-1-1600x900.png\" alt=\"Karuizawa Budo Collection\" srcset=\"https:\/\/live-dekanta-ig-3.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Liam-Hiller-and-Stu-Cox-1-1600x900.png 1600w, https:\/\/live-dekanta-ig-3.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Liam-Hiller-and-Stu-Cox-1-800x450.png 800w, https:\/\/live-dekanta-ig-3.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Liam-Hiller-and-Stu-Cox-1-510x287.png 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .banner --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/dekanta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ArtDesign-V5-Jec-Colourgrade-1.m4v\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBeautiful Design Showcasing Japanese Culture\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuite simply… You’ve never seen a collection like this before.The Budō Collection is among the most visually impressive whisky designs of all time. The design process began by selecting a bottle shape that is broad shouldered and tapered, representing the strength of the sportspeople who practice modern martial arts. The relatively flat face of the bottle is a great canvas for the artists, who will be hand-painting every bottle. Each of the three beautiful hand painted bottles is accompanied by an elegant hand crafted wooden presentation stand that draws influence from the traditional outdoor Sumo Dohyo and Japanese roof structures, but with a modern twist. As you place each of the sports disciplines into the arena you’ll be stuck with a feeling of pride akin to that experienced by the athletes themselves. The combination of the unique Karuizawa bottles with the artistic display results in a masterpiece that deserves the utmost appreciation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .section-content --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"section_41265607\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .section-bg --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"row-1858333907\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIndividually Hand Painted Masterpieces\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to get the true essence of Japanese culture and modern martial arts into this bottle, we took the bold step of collaborating with three of Japan’s most famous street artists, to create a set of hand painted bottles that are as gorgeous, unique and elegant on the outside as the liquid is rare on the inside. Each of these artists chose to showcase a different sport from the facet of “Gendai Budō”, or modern Japanese martial arts. It was with Gendai Budō that Japanese sport was born and the impact they have had on modern day Japanese athletes, artists and indeed whisky makers, are still apparent to this day. Gendai Budō revolves around Taimingu (timing), Nintai (patience), Seido (precision) and Chikara (strength), the same characteristics that are central to the craft, and the lives, of athletes, artists, and whisky distillers today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"banner-1238926601\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- bg-layers --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .banner-layers --\u003e\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .banner-inner --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/live-dekanta-ig-3.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5676.jpg\" alt=\"Individually Hand Painted Masterpieces\" srcset=\"https:\/\/live-dekanta-ig-3.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5676.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/live-dekanta-ig-3.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5676-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/live-dekanta-ig-3.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_5676-510x680.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .banner --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .section-content --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"section_330907644\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .section-bg --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"row-1900895893\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"banner-1325826216\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- bg-layers --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .banner-layers --\u003e\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .banner-inner --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- .banner --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBottle 01:\u003cbr\u003e\nKendo by FATE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFATE’s abstract depiction of Kendo brings together all of the key aspects of the martial art, from the equipment used to the lifestyle that the participants lead, to create a piece of art that is visually striking, powerful and elegant, much like the whisky inside.
