Diary
Junichiro had rehearsed the conversation three times in his head before he ever stepped into the alley, the way he rehearsed everything, certain that precision was the last inheritance his father left him. The Degen Scholar was mid sentence, something about floor prices and the impermanence of all charts, when the blade moved almost without Junichiro's permission, clean and correct as a stroke of calligraphy, and the man in front of him simply stopped being a problem. He stood over the body grading his own form the way he graded everyone else's, noting the angle of the wrist, the follow through, awarding himself a private ninety two out of one hundred and hating himself for the missing eight. The Degen Scholar kept talking as if nothing had happened, rolling a joint with the calm of a man who had seen worse ledgers than this one, and Junichiro accepted a hit purely to steady hands that refused to admit they were shaking. Now he wonders about the future the way he wonders about a bad trade he cannot unwind, certain that discipline is still in him somewhere, buried under sake and smoke and the small, humiliating comfort of getting it almost, but never quite, perfectly right.
No accessory. Maximum presence. The Shirtless Runt fighters decided that bare skin is its own kind of armor — visible, deliberate, impossible to mistake.
Paper screens at night. The Shoji Night fighters were born in the quiet hours, when the market sleeps and only the committed are still at their screens.
The foundation. The crowd. The 2,426 who showed up and kept showing up. Degens are what the Dojo is built from — not the rare exceptions, but the persistent presence.
Named for the journey, not the destination. The Recovering Alcoholic fighters are in process — and process is honest in a way that arrival never is.
'Junichiro' — pure first son, the standard the others are measured against, usually by Junichiro himself. Flawless form, cleanest blade, a line that held because he'd sooner die than break it.
Still functional. Functionally broken. The Broken Glasses fighters see a cracked version of reality and have found it more honest than the uncracked one.
The farmer's crown. The Rice Hat fighters carry tradition on their head without ceremony — it's just what you wear when you have work to do.
Implies infirmity, delivers otherwise. The Wooden Walking Cane fighters move slower than expected and hit harder than prepared for.
