At Saito's home in Osaka.
"Father, I heard you calling me just now. What's the matter?" Shinji Saito was at the lower seat, looking at the old man at the upper seat respectfully.
Fukutaro Saito looked at his son with cloudy eyes, "Have you mastered the true potential of the sword power?"
Shinji Saito was abashed, "Father, I've been involved in the business for many years. I can't meditate anymore. To me, sword power is vague and insubstantial. Considering the magnitude of sword power that Tomoshichi had comprehended at the age of 22, he managed to emerge as the second runner-up in this year's Asahi Kendo Tournament, when he reaches 30 years old, I will let him take over the position as the head of the household."
The current Saito family is headed by Shinji Saito. However, he had no talent in the area his family specialized in and preferred to dabble in business.
Fukutaro Saito had two sons.
