Since I began publishing my research in Gekkan Hiden magazine — with heartfelt thanks at this point to Koyama sensei for connecting me with the publisher — an increasing number of reader letters have been printed. I would like to briefly introduce one of these short letters below.
To think that Inoue Kishō sensei of Ryūkyū Kobujutsu is the great-grandson of Inoue Katsunosuke—what an incredible lineage. I heard that he demonstrated nunchaku-jutsu at this year’s Kobudō demonstration. I really wish I could have seen it live. Next time, I will definitely make my way to the Nippon Budōkan. – (Ibaraki Prefecture / F.S. / 49 years old)
I am aware that I am still a relatively unknown and fairly young researcher — but words like these bring me joy every time and motivate me to continue working diligently and to further deepen my research.
