MUSASHI.ZIP

A collection of scanned images of the caligraphy of the
Samurai Myamito Musashi, Jpana, 16th Century.

These images depict the special school of strategy promoted by
this great Samurai. The way of strategy has 5 books,
called Ground, Water, Wind, Fire and Void.

As meditation symbols to those interested in
Japanese, Shinto, Bhuddist thoughts these are very pure
and dynamic symbols.

For further information I direct you to the 
Book of 5 Rings, which represents the words
of Musashi on these matters. It is a book
available in several translations and is widely
available.

This project is directed by Turtle Heart, an Ahnishinabe traditional
indigenous porson. He is an artist working in stone and, recently,
through computers.

AICAP is a project dedicated to making on-line communications
and Native Art available to and from the Native Peoples of
North America.

The program supplies computers to interested traditional
natives, underwrites their on-line charges and encourages
traditional native people to engage the modern world
in discussion on any issues they feel compelled to share.

This is a unique and special project. It has several levels.

Presently we are developing a dedicated Native American
hub BBS which will be available by modest subscription; the BBS will feature
message areas where Native People can talk with the world and with each other:
on-line Native American Art; on-line resources to locate native
art, tribal contacts, information resources, native poetry
and artists directory and so forth.

If you enjoyed these images please consider a donation
to the project.

We can use donations of money, and of computer equipment
to add to our donation pool. Please 386 or better
compatabile equipment only.

Make checks payable to HOUSE OF SONG DOG. We accept
Visa and mastercard.

The way of the Samurai
and the way of the Sacred Native American Pipe
are paths with a great deal in common. Pure forms
are related to each other.

Print these charecters on to good paper and mount
them in your home or office. Meditate on the
pure way, the path of beauty and realization.
