    "Yes, it could be a perfect shape for skulduggery." I've come across the term "Hiden Buki" in respect of weapons concealed in everyday objects. There are a number of Koryū who have this within their tradition, notably Hōten-ryū (法典流) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hōten-ryū

    Probably, but you would have to do the 100 man Kumite three days in a row in order to be considered sincere enough to learn it!!!! Also Colin's point about pilgrims brings up Carmen Blacker's "The Catalpa Bow" an excellent study of Misogi and obscure Shamanistic practices .

    Thats a really cool idea. Roben, not to be confused with Robun, which is a totally different Bowl of Miso.
