Re-read my post. It says photo or drawing. You would think if there is a photo of Sakugawa tode floating around then why not Azato........47MartialMan said:Could it be that not all instructors take pictures or think of taking them? or that there wasn't a camera easliy available/aceesible? Weren't cameras a rare object to have?
There is actually a lot of info on Nakaima and Ryuei-Ryusearcher said:I almost forgot Nakaima of Ryuei-ryu. A closed family style until the 70's.
So are you saying that he was a fictious charecter?RRouuselot said:Re-read my post. It says photo or drawing. You would think if there is a photo of Sakugawa tode floating around then why not Azato........
If I thought so I would have said so.47MartialMan said:So are you saying that he was a fictious charecter?
1) Yes, another "unsung hero" of his day. I have found a few drawings of him and bits of info but he is rarely mentioned.searcher said:1) What about Seisho Aragaki?
2) He taught many of the masters of today's karate style: Kanryo Higaonna, Funakoshi, Chitose, Mabuni.
Many consider him to be the premier martial artist of his day, but he is so often overlooked.
It just sounded like an implication when drawings or pics are not available.RRouuselot said:If I thought so I would have said so.
Does this imply to photos of people?The Kai said:I think that you need to realize during ww2 the allied forces intent on okinwan as a landing spot shelled, mortered and f**ked up Okinwan. There are Photos of shurie looking like a field that was thourghly and crudely plowed. The Castle was obliterated. With complete devestation of the town of Shuri what record would survive???
No, you see when a building or house blows up onl the photographs of famous karateka remain.......47MartialMan said:Does this imply to photos of people?

With only verbal transmission, how can one bleieve or prove that such a person existed?RRouuselot said:I have a book of photographs taken in Okinawa during and right after the battle of Okinawa.
You would not believe the destruction. I am surprised a single photograph or document survived.
However, like with much of karate history on Okinawa, there is/was always verbal transmission.
Corroboration from several sources.47MartialMan said:With only verbal transmission, how can one bleieve or prove that such a person existed?
47MartialMan said:1)Lets say one person said so. Then anither took it off that one. Then two more took it of those. Does the person still exist?
2) My own situation has the same. Yet you doubt me.
I thought so as well until 47MartialMan decided to go on a petty vendetta and pick issue.tshadowchaser said:This has been an informative thread for the most part

You questions seem to be more like comments that try to agitate or bait.47MartialMan said:So the Japanese took karate as they took Okinawa?
