Sensei or instructor's occupation ?

[rainmaker]

It is amazing that our sensei or instructors spare their precious time and commit to teach us. My sensei and previous instructor's occupation are;

- IT Consultant
- Computer Hardware engineering
- Gardener

Again, thanks to all senseis...

What is yours senseis occupation ???

[Paikea]

Two are carpenters
One is a mechanical engineer
One is a Buddhist reverend
One is an art restorer
One is a civil engineer

The one previous sensei (I refuse to say "former") is a technical equipment sales engineer and purveyor of fine Japanese bogu.

My kendo o-sensei is a retired gardener (alot of them seem to be); the head instructor is a freelance photographer.

My iaido sensei is still working as a gardener. My other iaido sensei is a retired Los Angeles County Sheriff - I think...I know his son is an active sheriff now.

Mine used to own a gardening business but now he's opened a restaurant. He's only got to get into import/export to complete the Japanese immigrant trifecta.

My chief instructor is a Buddhist reverend, one is a lecturer at the university, another is a tour guide (I think), another is a dean at a Japanese-run university here, and another does bogu repair (used to do something else but quit).

Unfortunately, no - my son James was there though.

When Ikenaga-sensei came to Portland earlier this year he stayed at my home for the day. He did some calligraphy for us, and liked my cat.

Thank you. Sorry I don't really remember anyone else. I remember the Smiths because I asked Mrs. Smith to do jigeiko but she didn't want to. I did jigeiko with Mr. Smith though and it was very fun. He has a strong taiatari.
