EDITORIAL
Welcome to this special edition of Goju no Seimei
This edition is to bring your attention to an upcoming event members fof the IGK
Yudanshakai; that is, for IGK black belt members.
But while I’m at it!
I hear on the grape vine that a few people have expressed disappointment that there
hasn’t been a Goju no Seimei issue for a while.
Let me say that I have been a little disappointed as well! Disappointed that no one
has made the effort to provide anything in the way of IGK related news to add to the
journal that is.
Remember that this is a voluntary effort and to be a success relies on more than one
person contributing.
It is easy enough to fill up the pages with junk but that is not what it is supposed to
be about.
How about a little help?
My very best regards,

COVER IMAGES
The top image looks like it is right out of
the orient, but it’s not. In fct the Byodo-in
Temple is located near Kaneohe, in Hanhi’s
home state of Hawaii.
It is a scale replica of a temple in Uji Japan
built over 900 years ago. It’s beautiful
architecture , the graceful gardens and
the backdrop of the Koolau Ridge will leave
the visitor with a spirit of inner peace and
serenity. What a wonderful place to do
some training?
The bottom image is a montage of three
men that had an enormous impact on the
development of Goju-ryu karate.
From left to right, the man believed to
be the mysterious Xie Chongxian (Liu Liu
Ko) and Higashionna Kanryo’s principal
teacher in China, in the middle Higashionna

(Go Ken Ki) Miyagi sensei’s close friend
