SOURCE: Kendo Nippon, and to quote:
We interviewed Elizabeth who competed in World Kendo Championships four times as China team. Without hesitation she said to us, “I want to do most beautiful kendo that I can as a person”.

Elizabeth was born and raised in USA, Virginia. A woman born in the 80’s USA, a place with no connection to kendo. Why was she so fascinated with kendo? The key to understanding the source of her passion was the movie “Seven Samurai”. Director & Edit Masahiko Furue”.
