O sensei Tatsuo Suzuki told us that Otsuka Meijin just before he died rang sensei in London. In a whispering voice he said Tachen tame ni.
I asked Ai what this meant. In japanese culture especially from an old mentor to one if his students at the end of his life this wasn't a casual remark.
It likely meant " My purpose my effort my lessons were for you".
It was a message of legacy,love and entrusting the futureto someone he cared about very Deepchand Shende
