TONEDATE, MASAO

(Dates unknown). Editor at Osaka Asahi News in mid-to-late 1930s. One of two recipients of the MENKYO KAIDEN from Sokaku TAKEDA in 1939. The other person awarded this certification was Takuma HISA. Tonedate was not a regular practitioner of Daito-ryu aikijujutsu and therefore this scroll should be understood as an honorary award in recognition of his support of training at the Asahi News.
