#014 Mihasu Asai (Kyudo) - Japan

Mihasu Asai Sensei from Nagoya city in Aichi Prefecture, which has the largest number of Kyudo practitioners in Japan. Asai Sensei began his training under Asano Osamu Sensei (Kyoshi 7-Dan), and remains a member of the Nakamura Kyudojo In this wide-ranging conversation, Asai Sensei speaks of his Kyudo travels to the United States and Europe, conducting research on the cultural impact of Kyudo around the world.  In addition to his tireless efforts as an interpreter at international seminars, Asai Sensei is also an inspiration to the next generation of young Kyudo leaders, having attained the rank of Renshi 6-Dan two years ago at the age of 26. Asai Sensei speaks with experience, yet humility, and is a model of how budo arts like Kyudo help forge better human beings.  To get the latest on what we’re up to at Tokushikai Canada, subscribe to our newsletter at https://subscribe.tokushikai.ca and find us on Facebook and Instagram @tokushikai.canada
