Acknowledgment: In a Special Memorial Issue of the magazine Bugeisha: Traditional Martial Artist, Issue #4 Winter 1997, my dear friend Franco Sanguinetti Sensei wrote a personal and heart felt tribute to our teacher - Matayoshi Shinpo Sensei. I have asked Sensei Sanguinetti's permission to repost the entire article, as it was originally published, on my website.
