This is just a bit of fantasy I thought I would throw out to anyone who might be interested in responding.
In this fantasy I am assuming that a member of a traditional Japanese art has attained some standing in their community. One day the head of the tradition comes in and declares that everybody will lose their current standing and effectively start out again in the position of a beginner and will be required to pass through all the same rites of passage that they have accomplished thus far.
Could you do it?
What makes you think so?
Would you do it?
What makes you think so?
Thoughts?
Best Wishes,
Bruce
