In its basic sense it conveys the meaning of propagation or transmission (of knowledge, information) and can be read as den<\/span> (\u3067\u3093<\/span>) or tsuta<\/span>(e) (\u3064\u305f<\/span>\u3048).<\/p>\n In combination with other kanji (\u6f22\u5b57) and a more samurai-centric view of things we encounter words like hiden<\/span> (\u79d8\u4f1d<\/span>, secret) as pertaining to hiden<\/span> no waza (\u79d8\u4f1d<\/span>\u306e\u6280, secret techniques) that are usually passed on as kuden<\/span> (\u53e3\u4f1d<\/span>, oral instruction) to selected deshi (\u5f1f\u5b50, disciples) as to assure that they do not become known outside a ry\u016b (\u6d41, school). The raison d\u2019\u00eatre being that a certain (martial) technique leaving a school would enable others to devise ways to defeat it. This is not to say that certain ry\u016b will not include gaiden<\/span> (\u5916\u4f1d<\/span>, techniques from other schools) in their curriculum.<\/p>\n Further, some kory\u016b (\u53e4\u6d41, \u201cold\u201d budo schools predating 1886; as opposed to modern \u201csporty\u201d Japanese martial arts) distinguish between shoden<\/span> (\u521d\u4f1d<\/span>, entry transmission), ch\u016bden<\/span> (\u4e2d\u4f1d<\/span>, middle transmission), and okuden<\/span> (\u5965\u4f1d<\/span>, inner transmission, secret teachings). No wonder then, that those hiden<\/span> and okuden<\/span> are somewhat den<\/span>setsu (\u4f1d<\/span>\u8aac, legendary) in nature due to the speculation afforded by those ignorant to the teachings.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s hope one or the other reader will now embark on a journey to become a den<\/span>setsu no nawashi (\u4f1d<\/span>\u8aac\u306e\u7e04\u5e2b, legendary nawashi). A career in rope often starts as a tetsuda<\/span>i (\u624b\u4f1d<\/span>\u3044, helper, assistant), before you begin tying your first of ten thousand takatekote (\u9ad8\u624b\u5c0f\u624b). Suffice to say that only those TKs will count that didn\u2019t cause nerve damage or other injuries. Should, for instance, TK number 7,834 go wrong, you will automatically make a name for yourself as ayash\u012b den<\/span>setsu (\u602a\u3057\u3044\u4f1d<\/span>\u8aac, dubious legend) and needed to start all over.<\/p>\n Of course it would help if you had a shish\u014d (\u5e2b\u5320\b, master) who passes on his secrets to you (himitsu o tsuta<\/span>emasu, \u79d8\u5bc6\u3092\u4f1d<\/span>\u3048\u307e\u3059), so you won\u2019t have to make them up on your own. Depending on how a ry\u016b is organized, there may be a den<\/span>sh\u014d (\u4f1d<\/span>\u627f, scroll) containing the essence of the teachings. Furthermore, if you showed utmost commitment and dedication you might even be treated as a true disciple and given a menkyo kaiden<\/span> (\u514d\u8a31\u7686\u4f1d<\/span>) that would certify you as having fully received (and grasped) all the teachings of the ry\u016b.<\/p>\n There is a gazillion other words containing den<\/span> (\u4f1d<\/span>). You can even find it in the name of the great Akechi Den<\/span>ki (\u660e\u667a\u4f1d<\/span>\u9b3c)<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Now available at the Kinbaku Shop Bakushi Den (\u7e1b\u5e2b\u4f1d) loosely translates to Bakushi Story (or Tale, or Legend) rather than Rigger Shack.
