I got a tenegui from 剣道日本 with the 4 kanji phrase 交剣知愛, which I didn't understand. http://www.budogu.jp/column/kotoba.html has a long list of Japanese budo terms. I hardly have the time to to read it all.
Last night, Iaido 忘年会 or end of year party. Very enjoyable, but very drunk. There were 2 ladies either side of me, both kendo 5thdan. Opposite me, a friend of 森島先生. To his left, kendo 7thdan hanshi, and to his right, shigin 7th dan. And me, just started Iaido, kendo 2 dan, 6kyu shodo and no qualification in shigin. I makes me humble and shows to goals.
Lunch time, shigin end of year party. Much more alcohol than last year, and people commented that the atmosphere was much nicer than last year.
This week is Christmas for the west, but Christmas day I have kendo keiko in the evening. The next day is the last keiko for Kaishin and their end of year party.
This year kendo 2dan; shigin contest - got a prize in October; shodo - got a prize in December. All in all, mission accomplished, all systems go for next year. (I have to find to time to describe the shigin contest and upload the video).
