Abstract
The Land of the Rising Sun belongs to those which raise universal interest in other parts of the world. Despite the fascination that rich Japan culture arouses and considering the fact that Japan’s cultural achievments in the extent of the Budo martial arts, this country has not been known by the West citizens yet. Laymen may perceive Japanese „martial arts” as a uniform whole, but in fact they not only do not make a compact „homogeneous” system, but also are not a unitary phenomenon. Their values derive from the relations that combine human and nature. Ancient concepts, developed in a circles of ancien cultures of the Asia continent (the Far East) in different periods of its history, had a major impact on the shape of budo.<br/><br/>
