📷 Outside Matsumoto Castle it was raining gently.
My book, Shu Ha Ri: The Japanese Way of Learning, for Artists and Fighters, is out now. Please check it out.

@writingslowly The book sounds very interesting! I’m taking a greater interest in such things as I deepen my HEMA practice (and my writing practice).
@philipbrewer Thanks! Though different, there are parallels between Shu Ha Ri and the European tradition of apprenticeship. I’m intrigued by how the print revolution impacted HEMA teaching in the Renaissance - an explosion of Fechtbücher and other manuals. Did this obscure the key role of teaching?
