(1392) In memoriam, Takemi Sasamori


If all martial arts teachers we know from literature and the cinema had one model that would have been the 17th headmaster of Ono-ha Itto-ryu, one of the two most important schools of classic Japanese swordsmanship who passed yesterday at age 84.

Goodbye soke -and thank you.
