A quick story from 2007.
I taught for Demura Sensei at Cost Mesa Dojo for 32years.
We had a tradition of a pretty hard last class of the year,
followed by food and a fun gift exchange.
We changed from our sweaty uniforms into sweats.
While I went to change they had planned a surprise.
When I came back into the room,
they all wore t-shirts with this ...
on the t-shirt front. Drawn by blackbelt, Bud Arbuckle's
artist wife, Kathy, it really was a fun surprise.
Twelve years ago. Wow!
The Japanese Bush Warbler, or uguisu, has such a lovely call that it's birdcall (hohokekyo)
has become commonplace in Japan.
The Warbler's call is known to signal
the arrival of Spring
and begins in mid-February in Southern Japan but
won't be heard in the North until the end of April.

The woodblock prints of Tsuchiya Koitsu (1870 - 1949)
are notable for
their dramatic use of light and shadow.
He didn't become successful until
around the 1930s when
a chance encounter with the shin-hanga movement led Tsuchiya
to begin producing landscape prints in the
shin-hanga style.
He went on to design various prints for publishers in
Tokyo
