Senseki Taro Hirotsune

I take up my brush and begin to write, at the hour of the cock, on the tenth night of the first month. AS 36 

As I write this, I am in my tenth year of service to the Most Honored Ogami Akira Sama 

I joined his service after returning to my birthplace; the center of the world, the Golden Barony of the Rhydderich Hael, in the honored Kingdom of AEthelmarc .  My oath of fealty was made at Pennsic 24 whereupon I was given the honor of dying in service of Sama. 

Since then I have reincarnated hundreds of times and in each I have resworn my oath.  After only three years in the Hael, I ventured off into what was then known to be enemy territory.  I thought it best to slay the swordsmen of our enemy, while I still seek to perfect my technique, rather than the amply skilled friends and neighbors of Sama.  Now that hostilities between Aethelmarc and the East have subsided, I find a sad peacefulness to the other wise happy Kingdoms.

In my 33^rd year of life, ten as a Squire, I have chosen to turn my attention to the arts and services which our Society needs in order to live.

If you are interested in this Society at, all try it; you might have been a great swordsman for thousands of incarnations, and only require one chance to find out if it is in you.   Ichi e,Ichi i.  “One life, one chance”

If it is for Honor, Love, or Practice, count on my sword
