NEWS DA IWAMA.

Alcune news da Iwama gentilmente offerte dal Maestro Tristao Da Cunha che si e' mobilitato tantissimo per avere piu' informazioni possibili su danni e news sulla situazione direttamente da Hisako Saito e dagli uchideshi ora presenti.

Just talked to Hisakosan, 22:30h /07:30h Japan, and the news is that everyone is safe although working very hard to fix the roofs and the walls of the house and dojo. The children of Sensei are very hard at work on this. Electricity and phones came back yesterday (Japan time).

Okusama, Sata Saito, the Honorable wife of Morihiro Saito Soke is also well as are the Saito sisters and their families.

From Sendai the news are that Okubosan is alive although it seems he lost his house.

We are waiting for more news.


Just talked to Jan, the only in the Shin dojo. The problem with the Tanrenkan was that many things fell from the Kamidana, such as pictures, and broke. Also The Tarenkan's genkan wooden door does not open. The buildings "were dancing" Jan, said and, as it was his first earthquake...he was, of course, really scared. All the dishes etc. in the shokudou fell down and his has been cleaning for two days now. Water, gas, electricity is back.


Obrigado Mestre!!
