I’ve known Bill since the early 70s , last saw him at the To-Ken society meeting at St Helens 19th July where he was in his usual good form…. I was at Birmingham yesterday and didn’t hear anything so assume he’s got his feet up somewhere 👍 Ian -

Help required with this section of a Yamano Mei, I got the rest easily but I’m struggling with this section… I’ve been looking in Sesko’s Tameshigiri but haven’t found anything and so I’m sure some members will have no problem with it. Many thanks in advance. Ian
