Found this picture in a post. Master Gichin Funakoshi in what I believe to be a kamae from Kanku Dai or Kusanku. To gain deeper understanding of a Kata we also have to look at the original version, the early revision of the Master and then the present revision. In this photo I interpret it as Master Gichin showing defense when attacked while fallen or squatted on the ground. How about you? What is your interpretation?
