Mourning the loss of Eiichi Yoshikawa (NTHK)

[Keichodo]

It is with great sadness I am posting this notification on the passing of sword polisher Eiichi Yoshikawa on December 25th.  He was 67 years old.

 

The wake will begin at 6:00 p.m. on December 30th and the funeral service will be held on December 31st at 11:00 a.m.

 

Yoshikawa Sensei was active in recent years arranging, attending, and judging shinsa overseas which helped bring up sword scholarship worldwide.
