When I was in Japan recently (1977), I got a nice calligraphy from my KYUDO SENSEI as a farewell present. The KANJI MA ( ) is accompanied by the name (KAWASHIMA KIYOSHI, on the left) and a vertical column which I cannot read. Maybe it is fron the SEI FU KAN DÔJÔ or from HEKI RYU INSAI HA?

Could I please ask for translation help for this?

日置流印西派免許皆傳 - Heki-ryu Insai-ha, full proficiency

 

BTW, I learned Heki-ryu Insai-ha kyudo at the physical education class of my university in 1970.

MORIYAMA-SAN,

thank you so much!
Good to know that you were also taught in HEKI-RYU INSAI-HA. I think this was the closest school to real war-based archery of the SAMURAI era. The head of our school was INAGAKI SENSEI (HACHI DAN HANSHI) who visited Germany a number of times. 

I have very good memories of that time in Japan. The beautiful DÔJÔ was near KOBE, in KAWANISHI. KAWASHIMA SENSEI (6th DAN RENSHI at that time) was a very good teacher, generous, very patient and helpful.

I learned kyudo at university physical education class for one year. The supervisor of the class was Inagaki Genshiro sensei (稲垣源四郎).
