--- INTRODUCTION --
An Interview with Baptiste Tavernier, Budoka, artist, and writer.
Baptiste Tavernier, born 1981 in France, pursues a creative path that has led him from experimental music through the martial arts of Japan, to the painter’s canvas.
He discovered Budo at the age of 8 when he joined his local judo club.
While studying digital art and musicology in college, he started practicing a rather rare martial art called Bozendo in France in 1999.
He left for Japan in 2006 and joined the International Budo University for 8 years where he focused on the study of modern Budo and traditional Bujutsu.
He is now a Renshi 6th Dan in Tankendo, 4th Dan in Jukendo and Naginata, 2nd Dan in Battodo, shodan in Bozendo, and has some experience in Aikido, Judo, Tendo Ryu Naginata-jutsu, Tatsumi Ryu Heiho and Isshin Ryu Naginata-jutsu.
Deeply involved in the international diffusion of Jukendo and Tankendo, he is now the chairman of the All Japan Jukendo Federation’s International Committee. He regularly writes articles in the Kendo World magazine and has published a book on Miyamoto Musashi’s Heiho Sanjugo Kajo, “The 35 Articles of Swordsmanship” that precede the famous Book of 5 rings.
Baptiste currently lives in Taipei where he teaches Jukendo and Tankendo and develops his creative work. He has exhibited in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Miami, Taipei, Rotterdam and many other cities.
During one of his numerous trips to Japan, this time on the occasion of the Kendo world annual Keikokai, he accepted our invitation and we met in early August 2017 for this interview.
