# A Short Story Borrowing a Friend Writer's Setting A brief piece incorporating the brilliance of classical martial arts that remain in modern times. I was looking forward to meeting my lover Rintaro, who was returning from California for Christmas. However, Rintaro's grandfather is a master of Shinkage-ryu, a classical martial art with 400 years of history, and I was asked to receive his seal of approval. Unable to refuse his elderly grandfather's request, Rintaro spent his vacation before Christmas training in Shinkage-ryu and faced the day of his certification. There, senior disciples who did not recognize the young Rintaro were waiting. Based on the author's years of research into Yagyu Shinkage-ryu, this work depicts the true form of "authentic martial arts." The depiction of sword combat uses no careless expressions, making it suitable for readers who wish to learn more about classical martial arts. Note that this story is fiction and has no connection to the actual Yagyu Shinkage-ryu that exists today.
