Studying Japanese Culture - part 2

I was lucky to have had such a good master in Saito Sensei, who taught me so many things from his rich cultural heritage. Chance had it that I met my wife, Midoriko, on my first trip to the Iwama Dojo. She hails from the same area as Saito Sensei, Ibaraki-ken (prefecture). 

Sensei said many times that she was so much help to him - in explaining difficult concepts to me when my language skills were lacking, cooking for him when he came to teach in Denmark, and in so many other ways. She is also very much a help to me, in teaching me even more about her country and its customs. She helps me in offering different cultural courses; sharing her knowledge and talents with my students.
