Mr. Tsukihara lives in Ehime Prefecture and has been practicing kendo since the first grade of elementary school.
While working at the city office, he is also involved in coaching the youth of the kendo club he belonged to when he was a child.

He met Haku Un about 1 year and 8 months ago. While he was unable to practice due to the Covid, he was searching YouTube for videos of the 7-dan examination. He came across Haku Un and became interested in it.
At the same time, he was looking for materials to study "Basic Kendo Techniques with a Wooden Sword" for his student's career, and he found the explanation on Haku Un.

Here is a comment from Ms. Tsukihara.

I received various insights from Haku Un and was able to reevaluate my own kendo by studying Okada sensei's lecture videos, columns and so on. I am sure this led me to pass 7th Dan. I was able to pass it on my third try.
Thank you very much.


Mr. Tsukihara also shared his efforts for Dan promotion with us in the salon. We have received comments from Okada sensei as well as interaction with our members. I hope you will continue to interact with us in the future.

Again, congratulations on your promotion to 7th Dan.
