Although I knew that Noro Sensei was ill - I am so shocked by this sad news.
My sincere condolences to the family, friends and students.
I was a student of Noro Sensei when he first came to Europe and the UK - he spent a lot of time in the UK in the early 1960s, we would also visit Sensei in Paris.
Another sad loss of one of Osensei's direct students.
Noro Sensei and I were almost the same age, just a few months apart.
