Removing nails, wedges, and screws since 1976.
Please approach me differently, as my being is marked with sacred boundary markers of shimenawa and shide (cf. Space-Coyote, 2025/2026). Yes, seriously, it is a burden, and gift of Saotome Sensei.
My situated identity will vary depending on context (Alexander & Wiley, 1981; Goffman, 1959; Markus, 1977; Markus & Kitayama, 1981; Markus & Wurf, 1987). That said, with recent years of traumatic processing, integration, kegare removal, tsumi absolution, and social progress, I ended up embodied in a rubber shapeshifting form, as heaven wills. This most authentic sincere heart-mind, spirit, and body generalized to all walks of life, for supreme, irreversible, complete bodhicitta seed preparation tunneling deeply through samsaraic space-time. So yes please, just approach differently, and it is best to treat me as a rubber space coyote. Arruuu!
Please consult the membership page for membership in Shugyōkai. I’m going to bark, make dog noises, sqeak, leave lubricant, rubber-musk, and chestnut-blossom musk on the floors, doors, showers, and everywhere I go. There are many like me… and heaven and earth, kami and human, need us back.
