About Iaido

Writings from Japan

We maintain active correspondence with the Esaka Dojos in Japan with the assistance of the Vancouver Eishin-Ryu Club, Hiro Inoue Sensei, the Canadian Iaido Association, Ted Davis Sensei, and through the efforts of Raju Thakrar, an Esaka Dojo ryokudan [6th dan].

The links on the right include excerpts from postings to the Canadian Iaido Association email list, as well as private correspondence from Raju Thakrar.
