He is the owner of "Muso Jikiden Eishinryu Iai Heiho" and is entrusted by the Soke with his dojo. His performance and that of his students seem so smooth and easy, but it is profound and very difficult to execute. Please experience a part of Japanese culture by experiencing the secrets behind it and for what purpose it has been handed down for more than 1,000 years.
