Cold training - Kanshugyo

This type of training method is called “kangyo” or “kanshugyo” and its origins can be seen in the ancient Shinto and Buddhist training methods. For example, the ideas and methods of kanmairi, or kanmairi, or sanro, where people visit shrines naked and barefoot, ascetic practices such as misogiharae and mizugori, as well as the Buddhist ascetic practices such as butsumiyoe, which have been practiced since the Nara period, and the ascetic practices of mountain ascetics, may have been integrated to form this type of training method in the arts as well. …

…現代武道においてもこの伝統的な稽古法は広く行われ,寒中に5~15日くらいの間で日数を定め,早朝寒さにうちかって激しい訓練をすることにより,精神的錬磨をおもな目的としている。このような稽古法は〈寒行〉,あるいは〈寒修行〉といわれて,古くから行われていた神道,仏教の修行法にその原形を見ることができる。例えば,神社に裸,素足で参詣する寒参り,または寒詣,あるいは参籠,禊祓(みそぎはらえ)や水垢離(みずごり)といった苦行,仏教では奈良時代から行われていた仏名会(ぶつみようえ),山伏の苦行などの思想や方法が一体化して,芸道にもこのような修行法が形成されていったのであろう。…
