Here at the frontier, the leaves fall like rain. Although my neighbors are all barbarians, and you, you are a thousand miles away, there are still two cups at my table.
Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn, a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter. If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life.

Mifume. The definition of Master, if there ever was one. One of my all-time heroes.
I know that Kano admired Ueshiba's aikido. Tomiki was active in the development of both martial arts. I wonder what (if any) commerce Mifume had with Ueshiba and aikido?
allegedly, Ueshiba would not allow Mifune to watch his classes because he thought that Mifune's understanding and skill in judo was so similar to ueshiba's aikido that Mifune might be able to"steal ueshiba's techniques" just by watching.
That's quite a testamonial.
