Killing with kindness

Wisdom and strength are no burden

near; close by

Good from far, but far from good

A hedge between keeps friendship green

Strength lies in flexibility

gods of the earth

hesitation

hesitation

bamboos and reeds

The biggest rally can still be lost in an instant

writings

flagellation

In Buzen, we say 'chiko chiko'

retirement

Genius has its blunders and fools have their moments
