Soke Fumon TANAKA
"Man exists in harmony with the universe. In the Bushido ideal of beauty sought by the consciousness of the inevitability of his own death ....
Kenjutsu is the way to integration with the laws of the universe. We do not know the mysteries of the universe, or we are unable to comprehend the mysteries of the rights of the rulers. We know only that each "way of life," inevitably leads to death, which was the date and so we can not predict. Nobody lives forever .... Bushido tames us with this thought. Overcoming the initial fear of death is the beginning of Bushido and learning martial arts. Samurai first accept death, and then fraternized with the world ...."
