Hi,
Anyone want to discuss this name and person and why it is so confusing, the name of his art and the whole sordid story?

Here is another web site that has some information on the Late GM and his list of students. Good information for all I believe.

No takers on this subject?

James Mitose is a true representation of the Japanese mind at the time of the war. In my humble opinion.

They were very loyal, while at the same time very cunning and self serving. Something we see quite a bit in all cultures. It is called Duplicity. It is in the book by Sun Tsu, Art of War.

Here is some information that is hard to find. So I thought I'd share.
