Ishiro, man or myth?

Neither a myth nor a yotei, just a Graphic Designer living on Ono Yama in southern Germany, in the province of Bavaria. For 37 years now, I have been captivated by Japanese history, specifically the period spanning from the Muromachi era to the Meiiji era. I began my sword training using bokken, classic Japanese wooden swords when i was 17. I founded the Etsu Clan together with two friends in 2002 . 2020, the clan was joined by the lovely On'na musha Claudya and in 2022, I converted to Shintoism. I have been affiliated with the Ise Kōtai-jingū in Ise, Mie Prefecture. My Kami is the Sun Goddess Amaterasu, and my lesser Kami are Tsuru and Minogame. In my free time, I practice sumi-e and maki-e, write haiku, and occasionally build furniture out of kiri wood in the classical Edo sashimono style.
