Exciting times for Miss Eden, she now has her own personal Sensei. For those of you who do not know what a "Sensei" is....Sensei (先生 ?) is a Japanese title used to refer to or address teachers, professors, professionals such as lawyers and doctors, politicians, clergymen, and other figures of authority. The word is also used to show respect to someone who has achieved a certain level of mastery in an art form or some other skill: accomplished novelists, musicians, and artists are addressed with the title in this way; for example, Japanese manga fans refer to manga artist Osamu Tezuka as "Tezuka-sensei." Sensei is also one of the common Japanese martial arts titles. Eden's Sensei is based on the image & spirit of Morihei Ueshiba (Dec 14, 1883 to Apr 26,1969), Better known as O'sensei (great teacher) who is the founder of the martial art Aikido (the way) & author of "The Art of Peace."
Eden's Mommy and Daddy traveled far and wide, over mountains, and across waters, taking special care in selecting a unique match for their little girl. In a land called FAO Scwartz, Sensei was born and will be a lifelong teaching companian for Miss Eden. Lil E loves to listen to her Sensei teach important lessons like no biting, which is one she has not quite mastered, but Sensei is patient and kind and will help our lil student get over even the toughest obstacles. May we now present Eden Grace's Sensei....
"The Path of Peace is exceedingly vast, reflecting the grand design of the hidden & manifest worlds. A warrior is a living shrine of the divine, one who serves the grand purpose."
- O'sensei, The Art of Peace
I think Mark and Tammy are the most wonderful parents. Tyler did not have his own Sensei so maybe when he is over at Uncle Mark and Aunt Tammy's house Sensei can give Tyler some insight as well.
