One of the main references for this kata is Nakayama Sensei "Best Karate" Volume 11. Nakayama states "This kata characteristics are varied smooth and flowing techniques, stances that require execellent balance. A high level of technical skill is required to perform this kata effectively". For this reason it is commonly selected by Karateka in competition.
