Fūrinkazan Performance

Let your rapidity be that of the wind,
your gentleness that of the forest.
In raiding and plundering be like fire,
be immovable like a mountain.



FUU RIN KA ZAN

Wind - Forest - Fire - Mountain

was the motto of Takeda Shingen (1521 - 1573), a Japanese regional prince during the time of the warring empires. It is a quote from the book "The Art of War" by Sunzi (China, 544 a.C - 496 a.C) abbreviated to four characters.
The story of Takeda Shingen is told in the film "Kagemusha (1980)" by Akira Kurosawa.
