Some days ago I mentioned about the Singaporian karate family lost in the north mountains looking for the secret book. Well guess what? They've found it! Can you believe that? Now it's even more manga-like.
To go over the whole story again, 13 members of a Singaporian budo family came to Japan looking for a Japanese karate master, all because their deceased father left a message to do so. His last words were, "In the northern land of Japan which is not Hokkaido, there is a Japanese karate master. Visit him and ask him to give you the Secret Book."
There was a little accident in which 3 of the 13 members once got completely lost in the woods of Shirakami Mountains, safely found, but 11 of them still remain in Aomori Prefecture.
Well this was the story few days ago. This news was reported nationwide, and one person came forward thinking it could have been him that they're looking for.
His name is Mr.Fukuda. He was told by one of his friends "Mr.Fukuda, aren't you the one?" and as he wondered he went to see them in Hirosaki city on April 9th.
According to Mr.Fukuda, the Singaporian deceased father came along with a companion to the mountain training hall in Aomori Prefecture, and with a translator practiced karate discipline for 3 days. Their relationship lasted even after the father went back to Singapore, for Mr. Fukuda flew over.
At their meeting Mr.Fukuda told the deceased's wife and son about the training then and about the deceased. He described the deceased as "a serious, stubborn, introverted budo-ka whose hands were quicker than his mouth" and the family listened to him as they agreed with the described character.
Introverted... hmm, well, he was with him for only 3 days...
Anyway, what really attracts me is the Secret Book. This guy, Mr.Fukuda is actually not exactly a karate master. He's a master of this rare martial arts called Kukenpodo or something like that. I think it's a Chinese martial arts but what they do is this: they control the movement of the air and aura which is called "hado". Ain't that awesome? I wonder what's written on the Secret Book. I want one if I could LOL.
In the end, this Secret Book, Mr.Fukuda cannot give it to anyone because it's something he received from his master when he completed his training in China. But instead he offered to award the deceased a certificate of this art, and the family happily accepted his offer. The awarding ceremony is (or was?) held today, on the 14th of April.
Well if you can get it just by asking for it, then it wouldn't be a "secret" book right?
But then they had this "ceremony"... who imagined things would become this big? It's a national news LOL.
Anyhoo, it was the first news in a loooong time that made me feel like a little boy again, with lots of exciting words in the news. Let's see, shall I start creating a Secret Book on yam-natto salad (see yesterday's article)?
