Nishijima Roshi sitting

Nosing around on youtube I found this vid. It’s part of a series. This one is so cool. Watch how the old master Nishijima sits in his plain clothes ( and a kesa) takes a peek at his watch and starts his sitting ever so naturally. It is so inspiring because he goes “home” so quickly and so unassuming. A perfect picture of “Just sit.” Someone probably posted this before I’m sure. Just curious. What do you guys see and or notice when watching this? Any comments?

I notice the lovely smile at the beginning.

Thank you for sharing, Enkyo. That video must have been recorded shortly before he became ill.

Yes thank you Enkyo ... I too enjoy Nishijima Roshi, he is so sweet. :)

Sweet ... in a hard as nails, samurai sort of way. He is one tough old bird too.
