There is a superb german martial arts blog called "hoploblog".
A certain section there is called "seven questions to..." where different people in the martial arts world (not restricted to japanese arts) are being interviewed. Of course, the blog is usually focused on the german-speaking community.

Today, after a longer lead time, the interview with Ôtsuka Ryûnosuke, the 7th Sôke of the Hokushin Ittô-Ryû Hyôhô has been published.

The interview answers many questions concerning the Hokushin Ittô-Ryû, succession planning in classical schools, admission into japanese ryûha, etc.

The interview is available in German, English and Japanese.
Please enjoy!
