He arrived like an arrow from ancient times. He carried the torch of the heart/mind polishing lineage.And he always said:"Hello is NOT goodbye!"

He transplanted the Heki Ryu Biu Shyu Chikurin Ha lineage of kyu no michi in the West as it now wanes in Japan.

[Candor7]

My precious teacher has passed from this world.There likely will never be another like him, he very likely was the last of his kind.

[skinkinthegrass]

thanks, for the interesting post.
I practice in Martial Arts, too.

[GeronL]

I practice Kung Pow Chik-An

[shibumi]

To attempt a comment in words would be an act most “Un-shibumi.”

I will, therefore only offer a modest musical tribute in which one might find some sense of balance.

Shibumi Samma,

Domo Arigato Gozahimashita. That music fell directly onto my raw kokoro, like salt on a wound , its purifying sting is pleasurable as the rain falls on my face.

[GeronL]

Not nearly as manly as dressing up your own warrior

I practice Kung Pow Chik-AnI practice @ least once a week w/ Deadly Chop sticks, too. ...
AND don't even think of leaving out the (as deadly) Pork Fried Dumplings
(8 for 4.95$US)

[GeronL]

Choi Young rules.... well, okay his King ruled but still... they probably thought they'd be remembered in poems, songs and legends...

They would probably be bemused to see their lives fictionalized and turned into romantic dramas that bear almost no resemblance to the real thing

[shibumi]

My apology if I do this badly. I do not claim fluency, much less poetic ability:

Mai anaa izu tuu noo himu suruu yuu .

[GeronL]

At least one Japanese invasion was defeated by the mighty Turtle Ships!

Okay, why not Dragon Ships? or Sea Monster Ships? why Turtle??

Cannons all around, arrow firing poets all around, 2 foot spikes on the top... possibly poisonous fumes belching from the mouth of the dragon head....

To this day General/Admiral Lee Soon-shin is a national hero of Korea.

Must have been a formidable ship in its day.

[skinkinthegrass]

It's just not my style..ahhhhh, Orientation...
You really should contact pResident 0'BlahBlah /
Reggie Love et al in the White Hut...

[GeronL]

There is some weird stuff on the internet

[skinkinthegrass]

To this day General/Admiral Lee Soon-shin is a national hero of Korea.
Must have been a formidable ship in its day.true..the French (in the Crimean War) must have thought they....
were invincible, too..seems they didn't last too long (top-heavy?) either.

[GeronL]

They worked for a while but technology advances rather quickly sometimes

Candor 7, our sympathy, and sadness at your loss.

.

[Candor7]

It is my honor to know you here and he would be very pleased
to meet you, of that I am very sure.

[Candor7]

Thank you so much. It is most difficult to have lost my blood father in May, and now my spiritual father is gone.

But we will slog on here. I appreciate you so much and hope all is well with you and yours.

I have a feeling I will be seeing them both again.

[MestaMachine]

With great respect, I share your loss and feel your pain. Please accept my condolences on your great loss.

[TigersEye]

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your great teacher. As we both know it is as much a time of joy as it is of sorrow. Such men meet their passing without fear and with a lifetime's preparation for their transition from this life to the next holding anticipation for greater things to come. Still, it is always difficult for us who remain here who follow in their footsteps and know we will never hear their praise or guidance again in this life.

Tashi delek, my FRiend.

May you always remember every precious moment you shared with Master Onyumishi Kanjuro Shibata XX.

Sarva da mangalam!
