Gi - The emblem of Kase Ha Shôtôkan Ryu Karate-Dô
ON:
Obligations
contracted passively, on are the
obligations from the point of view of the passive receiver.
SHI
NO HON: Received
On of the
professor of one On
received in all the relations established in the course of the life of
everyone.
Note:
The people from Those who one receives on
turn into on jin of one, "
the man on ".
RECIPROCOS
OF ON
One
" pays " these debts " gives back to these obligations " to
the man on ; that is to say, these
obligations are considered from the point of view of the active return.
For
the return of shi not on , the people
who have received it would contract giri .
GIRI:
It is considered
that these debts must be paid with mathematical equivalence to the received
favor and have time limit. It
would enter the duties towards people with whom there are no kinship loops, as a
result of on contracted (after
receiving a gift, a favor, an aid, by his education, etc.).
Giri
towards
the name of one same one : this
is the Japanese version of the honor. To
have to clean to the personal reputation of an insult or an imputation of
failure.
To have towards one same one, that forces not to admit the failure
(professional) or the ignorance. To repress all touching demonstration sometimes
unsuitable.
It is very difficult to explain in writing all a form to think and to feel of
the Japanese town. This is an
abstract of the obligations and its reciprocal ones, being an extensive
bibliography on the subject.
