Dear All-
I am writing to you to tell you about a unique event. Esaka Seigen
Sensei (Hanshi Ju-dan ) from Matsudo, Japan, will be
visiting the San Francisco bay area from 24 Aug 2009 to 1 Sep 2009.
In conjunction with the San Francisco Asian Art Museum
(www.asianart.org), he will
lecture on and demonstrate Iaido, the traditional Japanese martial art
of drawing and cutting with the sword. He will also be teaching Iaido
classes as part of his visit. Participants of any experience level
and from any style will be
welcome at the seminar, though space may be limited. If you or any of
your students are
interested please let us know right away (
outreach@...).
Details of cost, location
and registration to follow.
Thank you.
Sensei Andrej Hendryk Diamantstein (Renshi 6th Dan Z.N.I.R.)
Frankly this is a really exciting event,
it will run in conjunction with the museum exhibit, "Lords of the
Samurai", (
http://www.asianart.org/Samurai.htm), a great excuse to
come to San Francisco, study swords and study swordsmanship with one
of the preeminent teachers now active in Japan. I am not sure members
of your dojo will be interested but they are all welcome and I hope
that you will share this with any teacher, student or group that you
think will be interested. This looks to be a terrific exhibition and
Esaka Sensei's instruction is always worthwhile. Hope we can see you
there.
You friend in the way,
-t
