According to Chatbot BARD:
The Japanese expression 流派 (ryuuha) can be translated into English
as "school" or "school of thought." It is used to refer to a group of
people who share a common philosophy or approach to a particular
discipline. In the context of martial arts, ryuuha refers to a
particular style of martial arts. For example, Shotokan is a ryuuha
of karate, and Aikido is a ryuuha of jujitsu.
The word ryuuha is made up of two kanji characters:
流 (ryu) - meaning "flow" or "stream" 派 (ha) -
meaning "faction" or "group"
Together, these two characters suggest the idea of a group of people
who are flowing together in the same direction. This is a fitting
metaphor for a martial arts ryuuha, as the members of such a group
are all working together to achieve a common goal.
In addition to martial arts, the term ryuuha can also be used to
refer to schools of thought in other disciplines, such as philosophy,
religion, or art. For example, there are many different ryuuha of Zen
Buddhism, each with its own unique approach to the practice of Zen.
The term ryuuha is a reminder that there is no single "right" way to
do anything. There are many different schools of thought and
approaches to any given discipline, and it is up to each individual
to find the one that works best for them.
Could RYUUHA be translated as GUILD?
possibly...
For example, Shotokan is a ryuuha of karate, and Aikido is a ryuuha of
jujitsu.
Tea ceremony: Different schools of tea ceremony emphasize different
aspects of the practice, such as the specific movements, utensils, and philosophy. Some of the major schools include Urasenke, Omotesenke, and Mushashino.
Flower arrangement: Similar to tea ceremony, there are various schools
of ikebana (flower arrangement) with distinct styles and techniques.
Some prominent schools include Ikenobo, Sogetsu, and Ohara.
Other disciplines: The concept of ryūha extends beyond artistic
practices and can be found in various fields like calligraphy (shodō), incense appreciation (kōdō), and even cuisine, where different regions
or restaurants may have their own distinct styles.
Overall, the concept of ryūha plays a significant role in Japanese
culture, representing the传承 (denshō, transmission) of knowledge and traditions from generation to generation while allowing for the
development of diverse styles and expressions within each discipline.
For example, in Python, some ppl like to use the
{ . . .
}
style, which i don't like because it takes up more (too many) lines
