Fascinating man. The hair dye reminds me of a tai chi teacher. Chinese, I forget where he was from. In his fifties when I studied with him, the class was dumbfounded when he went back for a visit to china, only to return with his hair dyed. Everyone was so shocked! Thinking that his pursuit of a "natural" practice meant he would be a purist in aging with his grey hair. I remember we all caught glances of him out of the corner of our eye while doing the postures. As if he would somehow wave his arms and legs to emerge into some other form of matter. Didn't want to miss the next act! Lol!
It was really interesting to read about this and I have no memory of some thing like this going on in Japan but politicians have their hair black to convey vitality and so it’s not surprising that the tai chi teacher would do that because it’s a sport or exercise concern with vitality, but I honestly have never heard of any of this before, but now that I think of it most politicians in Japan, do you have black hair not gray.
Love this: Harmony is a balance between differing opinions, not the smothering of differences.
I do too! I didn't choose my son's name Kazuya 和弥, his papa did... but I love it！
