Upbringing of Kentarou Inada
Higo Zogan
Mitsuhide was a child who liked to draw pictures since he could remember. About three years old, he wrote graffiti on a white wall in his neighborhood with a permanent marker. His father got very angry with him. While his father apologized to the neighbor, he cleaned the graffiti with white paint and put it back.
Mitsuhide liked to play outside with his friends, and he was a child who didn’t go back straight home from school without playing with his friends on the way back home. His parent’s house was in a shopping district, but the area around the house was still a quiet place with many rice fields. He liked to climb high places such as trees and the roof of the shrine. He has two sisters; one is two years older and the other is six younger. However, he was a naughty box who didn’t play house with his sisters.
When he was in junior high school, he was in the handball club. Then he went to high school while working a part-time job. When he was in junior year at high school, he started learning Karate. He became interested in martial arts because K1 was very popular at that time. He seems to find a common part between the physical experience from martial arts and the physical use of Higo Zogan as a craftsman.
From now on, I would like to occasionally touch on in this blog with a kind of coffee-break about the relationship between martial arts and craftsman in body use.
