Perform Kata Beautifully, Execute Technique from the Heart - A Karate Dialogue between Nikichi Zaha and Kenji Ushiro -
The dialogue is comprised of six separate interviews which took place January, 1993; July, 1994; March, 2000; August 2001; October, 2001 and October, 2002. The first interview took place when Zaha Sensei was 78 years old and Mr. Ushiro was 44 years old. The last one occurred when Zaha Sensei was 88 years old and Mr. Ushiro was 53 years old. Over nearly a decade, they shared their passionate thoughts on karate, resulting in the valuable historical record contained in this book.
It conveys the deep trust between Zaha Sensei and Mr. Ushiro, as master and disciple that has never wavered. Simultaneously, it unfolds a wealth of insights not limited to karate but extending to various aspects of life and existence: the history of karate and Okinawa, the essence of bujutsu karate, what it is to learn from a master, nurturing disciples, and ultimately, how one should live and exist as a human being.
