The Konara-han is dedicated to the pursuit of the spirit of the Warrior. The Konara-han is made of individual "Uchi" or "Households" that operate to support the over all "Han" or  Domain".

Overseeing the Konara-han as a whole is the "Tora no uchi" or "House of The Tiger" more commonly said "The House of Tora". The House of Tora is a place where deep study of the classical Japanese military science of Samurai (Bujutsu) is pursued.

The structure of the Konara-han and its households are maintained and operated in a traditional and militaristic sprirt

The general philosophy that permiates the Konara way, is the lesson of the Sakura "Cherry blossom". When the flowers of the cherry tree come to blossom they are beautiful and fragile, the slightest breeze and they begin to take flight from the branch creating a most beautiful sight .

We, the warriors of the Konara-han, feel that life in general, is such a display. Life, to the warrior, must be extraordinary, it must have meaning and purpose. For Konara warriors, the purpose is to effect an appropriate end.

"Live when it is right to live, Die when it is right to die"
                                                                             -Samurai Maxim"

In life, LIVE WELL in death DIE WELL. This concept should be meditated upon for anyone, warrior or not. We beings are fragile, the slightest thing can cause us to fly free from this world, like the cherry blossom. Through the study of our mortality we begin to understand that we must always be sincere in our dealings with others and ourselves, to appreciate a moment of peace, or the company of a loved one, or old friend, the time we are given to watch our children grow, and all things dear, because life does not always bless us with second chances or longevity.

When the slightest breeze blows, we take flight.....
