UKIGUMO (浮雲 - Floating Clouds) is the 4th - and very cool - move - of the Chuden or intermediate set of techniques taught in Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu and Muso Shinden Ryu Iaijutsu.
BUNKAI is the practical application of a technique (waza), the essence of it. There may be several Bunkai for each technique. Practicing a waza without understanding its Bunkai is more Dance than Martial Art. There is nothing wrong about dance, but you have to decide what you want to do.
This video is part of a series of Bunkai of the curriculum taught in Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu (MJER) and Muso Shinden Ryu (MSR). They are performed by 20th centuries masters.
2 Ukigumo Bunkai are demonstrated by Masters Hakuo Sagawa (MSR) and Iwata Norikazu (MJER)
