	Daikon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		With soy sauce it is served with Japanese-style hamburgers.
		It is used to make takuan, a kind of fermented pickle used in sushi and as a garnish for white rice.
		It is claimed, but not historically supported, that a Buddhist monk called Takuan first made this pickled daikon to preserve vegetables for the long winter.

		Takuan was de-fling his Katana and nickel-plated.45 Colt revolver, while he typed away some report or another on his Cystron that he had networked with his laptop.
		Takuan gave him an icy stare that said he better be right and the Combat op better drop off the gear where they needed it.
		Takuan and Greerson were to jump onto the next building over and then get to the 37th floor (three from the top) and provide fire support for the top six floor of the next building over.

		That is why his teacher Takuan is never tired of expanding on the doctrine of emptiness, which is the metaphysics of mushin no shin (mind of no-mind).
		Takuan Soho was Zen monk, calligrapher, painter, poet, gardener, tea master, and perhaps, inventor of the pickle that even today retains his name.
		Takuan's letter to Yagyu the swordmaster reveals some of the depth of the art of the sword, an art combining technique and spirit with consequences far beyond the sore muscles of a sitting cushion.

		In this letter, Takuan described the highest and deepest understanding that a person could hope to achieve and he did so in a language familiar to Yagyû: the language of swordsmanship.
		Takuan’s letter of advice to Yagyû also poses a paradox, namely, that sometimes students with little training in the way of the sword have no difficulty seeing through, and beyond, the attacker’s sword.
		Takuan, however, moves beyond his predecessors by reminding us that those who are merely clever and skilled have not achieved the highest level of understanding.

	Not As Stupid As They Look, Part 2
		She reached the doorway of the exercise area, knocked it open with the flat of her hand and flew through it with hardly a pause, her hair streaming on either side of her face.
		Her sensei, Takuan, was standing at the opposite side of the area, waiting for her with his arms folded across his chest; his legs planted shoulder width apart, immobile, his body standing squarely in a large shaft of sunlight.
		Takuan moved forward and tapped her shoulder, a signal that she should rise to her feet and prepare for the day's workout.

	Fudoshin
		The most famous and articulate source of information relevant to the concept of fudoshin is the letter written by the Zen Buddhist priest Takuan to the master swordsman Yagyu Munenori of the famous Shinkage-ryu school of fencing during the first half of the 17th century.
		Takuan and Suzuki further relate fudochi to the Buddhist guardian Fudo Myo-o (Sanskrit Acala-vidyaraja), the Immovable, who protects Buddhism with his sword, rope and glaring fierceness.
		Takuan's letter to the famed Yagyu master swordsman, official instructor to the third Tokugawa shogun, makes it clear that attaining this unfettered and imperturbable mind is at the core of true mastery.

		Whether the Chinese-style verse inscribed on this painting is one of them, or a quotation from another poet, awaits research by someone familiar with the poetry of the period.
		Takuan's calligraphy here is a breathtaking performance: a seemingly paradoxical combination of perfect control and spontaneity, both exquisitely refined and charged with energy.
		A fine example of Takuan's painting and calligraphy, Raizan Roasting Yams, is in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art collection and frequently on view at the Japanese Pavilion.

		Takuan hangs Takezo up in a tree, where Takezo begins to see that he is not a strong swordsman, but a weak demon who has murdered many people.
		Takuan is a wonderful character, the monk of many words and a sharp tongue.

		During the last nine years, the band has created an intriguing interplay taking its audience through atmospheres and harmonies of any kind and variety; heavy grooves, catching tunes, ethereal forms, machinery comments and fl humour are the elements which melt into a personal and coherent aural universe.
		Takuan started calling attention when they, during the summer of 1997, released their first CD which received very positive criticism from the press.
		Since then, the band has given a number of concerts thoughout Scandinavia and France, performing on festivals, art museums and venues.

		Suzuki relates Takuan's treatise, which he translates as The Mystery of the Immovable, to the Buddhist concept of transcendental wisdom (the Sanskrit prajna).
		To achieve this mental state and the practiced ability of unhesitating and appropriate response, there is at least one critical prescription which is training.
		Takuan refers to movements performed like our everyday motions of walking, eating, or brushing our teeth without need for stringent conscious control.

		He was a personal friend of Takuan Soho, also a confidante of the Tokugawa shogunate, and sought in this book to combine the technical refinements of Shinkage-ryu and the philosophical and psychological insights of Zen Buddhism.
		This part of the book continues the discussion of technique and goes further into the psychology and philosophy of the martial arts, both as an art for combat and a means of personal transformation.
		Throughout the work, the influence of Takuan Soho, and especially his Fudochi shinmyoroku, is evident.

		Takuan teaches: time is so precious and we must not waste it, because the time we now have will not come back any more.
		Than we should be joyful and catch with our hands all opportunities that time offers us, without being reluctant and without feeling them as an unbearable weight because they are a favourable occasion given only to some.

		In this book, do not expect to find either enlightenment or the answer to your questions, because this is not a guide to life or spiritualism.
		Rather, the unfettered mind is a collection of letters, each revealing the viewpoint of the Zen master Takuan to the reciever.
		Takuan Soho's insight into the mechanics of the mind and its effects on performance, is much more than a manual for the martial artist.

	daikon - RIRDC: The New Rural Industries - A Hanbook for Farmers and Investors - daikon
		However, because of the demand for processing products such as radish pickles, takuan, dried radish and frozen radish, opportunities exist for supplying fresh and processed long white radish to Asia, particularly Japan which, it is believed, imports a large amount of radish in both fresh and semi-processed forms for the pickle industry.
		There are four types of takuan available in Japanese markets: pickling radish with rice bran (nakazuke takuan), pickling radish with miso (misozuke takuan), pickling radish with sake lees (kasuzuke takuan) and pickling radish with soy sauce (shozuzuke takuan).
		To make takuan, all plants need to be dried for approximately 3—5 days in shaded areas with good ventilation for the roots to reduce to approximately 50% of their fresh weight.

		He was born to a farming family and entered the Buddhist order at the age of eight, later studying Zen with the master Shun’oku Soen (1529–1611) at the Rinzai-sect Zen temple Daitokuji in Kyoto.
		Impressing his fellow monks with the depth of his spirit and rigour of his practice, Takuan was made abbot of the temple at the unprecedented age of 36.
		In 1629, however, Takuan was banished to northern Japan by the Tokugawa shogunate because he protested at its interference in temple matters.

	AikiWeb Aikido Forums - Do you study the classics ?
		In Thomas Cleary`s The Japanese Art of War, there is a section where Takuan writes of swordtaking.
		He, in effect, writes that when a defender moves in to take the sword, if the one holding the sword tries to prevent her sword from being taken away, her mind is thinking about not losing the sword and is no longer thinking about cutting the defender.
		One of the things that I am definitely taking is Takuan's letters.
