From another list;

 

Dear All-

I am writing to you to tell you about a unique event. Esaka Seigen Sensei (Hanshi Ju-dan ) from Matsudo, Japan, will be

visiting the San Francisco bay area from 24 Aug 2009 to 1 Sep 2009.

In conjunction with the San Francisco Asian Art Museum(http://www.asianart.org), he will

lecture on and demonstrate Iaido, the traditional Japanese martial art

of drawing and cutting with the sword. He will also be teaching Iaido

classes as part of his visit. Participants of any experience level and from any style will be

welcome at the seminar, though space may be limited. If you or any of your students are

interested please let us know right away (outreach@iaido.org). Details of cost, location

and registration to follow.

 

Thank you.

 

Sensei Andrej Hendryk Diamantstein (Renshi 6th Dan Z.N.I.R.)

 

Frankly this is a really exciting event,

it will run in conjunction with the museum exhibit, "Lords of the Samurai", (http://www.asianart.org/Samurai.htm), a great excuse to come to San Francisco, study swords and study swordsmanship with one of the preeminent teachers now active in Japan. This looks to be a terrific exhibition and Esaka Sensei's instruction is always worthwhile. I am sorry that it is not closer to the San Francisco Taikai (http://www.ncjsc.org) but you will still have a chance to visit the museum. Whether you come for the swords or the swordsmanship I do hope we can see you all there.

You friend in the way,
