Abstract
When man tries to appreciate performing arts or martial arts of Asia and Japan, he will find that traditions of old physical technique are still alive. And their wisdom is immediately available in today's life. Not only with physical motion but with equipment we can activate functions of our body and mind. I enjoy Kendo (Japanese Fencing) long time from my childhood. Practice of Kendo is a treasure house of knowledge to activate our body and mind. I got ideas of new products from Kendo. And I developed some posture-correctional underwear and shoes. These examples will, I wonder, be good samples to find a basic theory of stimulation and activation of body and mind. Equipment of Kendo supports my body through point, line or plane and I correct and control my posture and my motion. Scientific research of processes between stimuli and actions to control contributes to our aged society.
