35 Articles Summarization

[Dave Lowry]

The summaraziation provided on the website mentioned above has some rather substantial differences from the two versions of the "35 Articles" I have in Japanese. Could Mr. Wolfe provide some background on where and how this summarization was created? It isn't a translation, obviously. More like some kind of precis, but as I said, it doesn't seem to be addressing the original in several instances. Is there any further information on the original source?

Cordially,

[Johan]

Are you awere of any translation to english, made by an experienced researcher?

[Just some guy]

Johon,
Sorry but, the only copy I know of is the one I have. It was made by Dave Hewitt who has Lived in Japan for seven years and works as a translater and English teacher there. He has also Studied Martial Arts while in Japan all this time and for a few years before he went. The translation I have is wonderful and I know that dave has talked about having it published with a Copy of Gorin No Sho someday but, I don't think he's had time to take his plans farther than the Drawing board at the moment. If things change, I'll let you know.

Mr. Lowry,
The summary was originally published in the electronic journal Budo Shinbun, and republished by permission on our web site. No references were included with the summary, so I don't know the source used by the author.
