We still need your help.
This issue continues a number of articles and introduces some new
ones from a tea ceremony master; the concepts of seme and tame;
the Yoshiwara; Nakamura Ryu; and thoughts on iai training, also
we continue the theme of Japanese film making with an article on
Rashomon. An article on Sugino Sensei was promised for this issue,
but unfortunatley that will have to wait until the next issue which
will be due for publication in April. So please enjoy this issue, and
let me know your thoughts and comments, and of course, if you
have something to say, say it here.
For this publication to work,
it needs to be current for the
student of the arts, from the
students of the arts. So, if you
have something to say, please
say it via email to:
elcome to the forth issue of Cutting Edge.
Firstly, my apologies for the late issue. Issues are
returning to being a free magazine for the foreseeable
future, so in order to keep downloads reasonably quick, the size
of the magazine will need to reduce a little otherwise the file size
just gets too big. The search for a more useable format continues,
and any changes will be informed as soon as we become aware
of them. Whilst this issue will be available on Joomag, it is also
available on the website as a direct download without the need for
any registration. We are interested to hear your thoughts as to your
preference regarding useable files so everyone is covered and able
to read the magazine easily. So please let us know.

CUTTING EDGE
We want to make this the
go-to publication for all your
questions and curiosities.
So therefore, we would like
info on your teacher(s), their
teacher(s), dojo stories and
experiences, your thoughts on
the arts, philosophy, concepts,
the whys and wherefores, trivial
or not so trivial; your feedback
and questions, so they can be
addressed in one place for the
good of our community.
