Commemorative Tenugui for AUSKF Iaido Camp!

This year’s tenugui features the phrase 実学実藝 (Jitsugaku Jitsugei) — practical learning, practical art — from “An Encouragement of Learning” by Fukuzawa Yukichi, a pioneer of modern Japanese thought and education.

The calligraphy was brushed by the late Nakanishi Yasushi Sensei, Hanshi in Iaido, Kendo, and Jodo, and Shinpan-Cho of the first All US Iaido Championships 30 years ago.

Each participant will receive one at camp.

Limited extras are available.
