Customer Reviews:

” People may hear things but do not always know what they are listening to, and often make assumptions without digging deeper. In this book, Craig
has taken his long years of Japanese language study to guide you to the heart of the language and culture. I hope his experience helps you enjoy new
insights into the complexity of Japanese that you may take into your training! “- Bill

Chi-Haya-Buru is both insightful and fascinating, and clearly reflective of painstaking work, all in an effort to reveal something much deeper than
mere surface understanding. I found it well worth the read.

I really enjoyed your book on Chi Haya Buru. I remember asking many questions (to Japanese) about the significance of the paper “kami” at the
entrance to the Shinto shrines and the fact that they are built to recognize and honour the “kami” of the past. Very interesting stuff….”

If you are like me, you stupidly repeat the Japanese phrases Hatsumi Sensei uses without understanding the depth behind the words. Or the richness of
the Japanese language and the art that we study. Most of the time, that is difficult to change without majoring in Japanese. This book connected me to
the rich depth of the language. It helped me understand how deep the Bujinkan runs. And how rich training can be when you understand the words! And
a bonus, Hatsumi Sensei did most of the artwork in the book!Thanks Craig. Now I have a bunch more of Sensei's quotes that need books about them...
