Everything in Japan, even theft, is an art. Even assault is an art—judo, aikido, and kendo, all of these are more than just learning to decimate your opponent, they’re about learning to master yourself. In many ways, Sato was a master of his art. Personally, I wish I’d spent a little more time mastering the martial arts in college; I’d find that surviving as a Yomiuri reporter was a little more physically demanding than I’d anticipated.
