Many would recall him as &#8216;the sensei from that time!&#8217; Sadly, <strong>he passed away on December 8, 2023.<\/strong> We deeply regretfully inform everyone of this and pray for his peaceful rest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #3366ff;\">[Chronology]<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">On October 13th (Friday), after the International Study Session concluded, he moved from Takamatsu Airport to Narita Airport to prepare for his departure the next day. That evening, he collapsed in his hotel room and was urgently transported for emergency surgery (acute myocardial infarction, catheter procedure). Despite narrowly surviving, he spent about three weeks in the ICU and was permitted by doctors to return to India. Subsequently, his health fluctuated; already diabetic, he developed acute renal failure due to the effects of the acute myocardial infarction, leading to bacterial infection, ultimately passing away on December 8th (Indian local time). In Japan, the institution responsible for his reception, surgery, and treatment was the &#8220;Narita Red Cross Hospital&#8221; (Narita City, Chiba Prefecture). According to the attending physician, after being transported in an emergency, he briefly regained consciousness and adamantly refused surgery due to reasons such as being on the brink of departure the next day and being unable to afford the costs of the surgery. However, despite his resistance, the doctors persistently and tactfully persuaded him by stating that without surgery, his body wouldn&#8217;t withstand the flight and that his life was in jeopardy. He eventually consented to the surgery. On the day before his discharge (November 6th), I visited the hospital and confirmed that the treatment and hospitalization cost approximately 9 million yen (nearly US$65,000-). As his students in India had already collected and paid several hundred thousand yen to the hospital, he received clearance for discharge, and I bid him farewell at Narita Airport on 7th, the following day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #ff0000;\"><strong>[Purpose of the Donation]<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I believe many of you may have encountered difficult or sorrowful events in your lives. However, Branch Master Maxwell brought numerous Indian kenshi to participate in the World Taikai and the International Study Session, the most crucial events of the WSKO, amidst global inflation and economic disparities. <strong>Overlooking the unpaid fees owed to Narita Red Cross Hospital, which compassionately treated and saved his life, would contradict the moral values of WSKO. Therefore, we&#8217;ve decided to request donations from everyone.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>The collected funds will be entirely donated to Narita Red Cross Hospital to partly cover the outstanding medical expenses of the late Branch Master Anthony Maxwell.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; Donations are on a voluntary basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; For individuals, a donation of \u00a53,000 to \u00a55,000 (equivalent to approx. US$30 to US$45) would be appreciated, and for groups (federations\/branches), a contribution equivalent to \u00a5200 to \u00a5300 (approx. US$2 to US$3) per active kenshi is kindly requested. Your assistance, within your means, is appreciated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; Some experienced travelers may have questions about his international travel insurance. He decided not to get insurance, judging that he was &#8220;healthy and on a short trip.&#8221; We cannot help but deem this decision as reckless when it comes to traveling overseas. WSKO learned about this after the surgery, and it will serve as a lesson for future acceptance procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">&#8211; Madras Branch is the only Shorinji Kempo branch in India.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #ff6600;\">Inquiries: WSKO Secretariat at <a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"mailto:wskohq@shorinjikempo.or.jp\">wskohq@shorinjikempo.or.jp<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">January 2023<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Shoji Arai, Secretary-General,\u00a0World Shorinji Kempo Organization<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 24pt; color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Heartfelt Thanks to Our Donors:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 0.1em;\">Listed in Order of Donations Received (titles are omitted.
