Sensei Furuya had posted on the old board and was known for his teaching on Aikido, Nihonto and his favorite Yagyu tsuba. He was featured in a Discovery Channel show on Japanese martial arts 'Way of the Warrior'. His dojo is in Los Angeles, USA.

Kensho Furuya was a fine and generous man. He personally sent me several books as gifts and we had many conversations over fittings and swordsmanship.

 

He will be missed

 

Rest In Peace Kensho.

I was truly saddened to see that Sensei Furuya had passed away. He was a kind and generous man whom I was honored to know. He had a vast knowledge of many things including Nihonto, Kodogu and the Japanese History and Culture. Knowledge which he was always willing to share. It is regrettable that he was unable to see the completion of the book he was writing, a book on one of his passions, Yagyu Tsuba. He will be missed by those who knew him.

 

As time moves forward,

the body withers and dies.

The spirit lives on.
