A way of life, lessons learned from ancient wisedom

BEAUTY & COURAGE is THE SAMURAI WAY...

Deeply connected with the concept of the warrior as being both martial & literary is the Oriental ideal of "URUWASHII". Which means a state of balance or Harmony between the exterior pattern and Beauty and the interior essence of substance.

Therefore warriors were encouraged to become as accomplished in the Arts as in martial skill and courage. " The man who is intelligently prepared with both the Marshal and the literary is the true general of armies"


CELESTIAL BALANCE
-Yoshimichi liked to produce a circular spot of the tobiyaki on both sides of the kissaki.(tip)

It represented the Sun and the Moon, suggested that we all live within the cyclical universe. Having respect for the power and balance of nature is that the heart of Samurai culture.



*THE SAMURAI'S QUOTE ON JUDGING APPEARANCE *

It is a wretched thing that one's family lineage be thrown into confusion with an adoption based on money alone. Such a thing is immoral from the beginning, but it is Extreme wickedness to be thus immoral with the excuse that without doing so one will be unable to afford even today's rice.

 "In today's term, NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER!"
