[Epub]$$ Modern Day Samurai Araya Takashi on Special Forces Futami Ryu Report Pdf

Description
I met Araya Takashi during our time at the Ground Staff Office (GSO),
when we were looking at the future concept of the Ground Self-Defense
Force (GSDF). After that, Mr. Araya overcame many difficulties to form
the Special Forces Unit, becoming its first leader, and at the same time
I became regimental commander of the 40th regulars. However, after
finishing his duty as Special Forces Unit Leader, Mr. Araya suddenly
left the GSDF. Losing him as a comrade was a great shock for me. On the
other hand, I felt that he must have some other role that he had to
fulfil, having completed his mission for the GSDF. I had always wanted
to speak with Mr. Araya about this. That opportunity came out of the
blue in the fall of 2019, after 15 years had passed. He had been putting
into practice a way of living as a Japanese person who safeguards
history and tradition. With love for Japan, his starting point was to
live as a Japanese person in his day to day life, meaning that he lived
to protect his country. To do so, he was living as a member of a
community that grounded itself in its locale, following Japanese
traditional culture, carrying out manufacture with craftsmanship, as
well as holding courses for those with the same aspirations to learn
about Japanese martial arts and culture. This report comes from a
conversation held by us, two former SDF officers, at the Village of
Musubi in Kumano City, about “special operations”, “the spirit to battle
through to the end of a fight” and “Japanese martial arts”. I hope you
will enjoy this Futami Ryu Report: “Modern Day Samurai, Araya Takashi,
on Special Forces.”
