Toshishiro Obata Kaiso’s Old Tameshigiri Footage

These are some of the snippets from videos Obata Kaiso took part in back in the 80s. The techniques are still very similar to what he teaches today. Archive Manager Mike Shu’s notes: “I originally pulled these together for the Shinkendo Promo video but I thought they deserved to be displayed in their original form for the online community to observe. People don’t get much of a chance to see young Obata Kaiso in all his glory from the 80s“
