Some of you may know I am also a Mosaic Artist.
I have just launched my first fundraising Kickstarter campaign to realize a mosaic portrait of Miura Takeyuki Hidefusa, Hanshi, 20th grandmaster of Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu (MJER) Iai Jutsu.
This is the style of Japanese Swordsmanship I practice and teach.
Here is the Link to the MIURA Mosaic Project.
If you are not familar with Kickstarter, this is how it works :
There is a period of 30 days to raise the funds (US $ 5,500.00). If you want to back the project, you pledge money. Depending on the amount you pledge, you get rewards after completion of the project. These rewards are described in details on the project's Kickstarter website.
When you pledge, your money is kept by Kickstarter on a special account. At the end of the 30 days (September 15, 2015) if the total amount of money was pledged, Kickstarter sends it to me and I get to work. If the total amount was not pledged, you get a full refund of your money.
I hope you find this is a valuable tribute to the memory of Miura Hanshi and will participate to the cause.
If I can, with your support complete this project, I plan to later realize mosaic portraits of other Martial Arts Masters, beginning with Shimabukuro Hanshi.
Please
ask me all the questions you want, preferably
through the Kickstarter site, so everybody can read
them, and my answers.
This project is a way for me to pay tribute to a great man. I never could meet Miura Hanshi, but many of my friends and instructors did. Without him, I would probably not be practicing Iaijutsu today.
When I do not practice Zen or Martial Arts, I
am also a modern mosaic artist with a deep admiration for ancient Greek,
Roman and Byzantine Arts. You can see my own mosaics on my
site at mosaicblues.
If you are interested by my work in mosaics or
would like to drop me a line please contact me by email at frederic.lecut@gmail.com or by phone at (334) 798 1639.
(and I recommend it !)
