Comment by Yaichi
Yoshino-san was the only person who dedicated himself to study for many years who I decided I wanted as an apprentice. Despite him being dedicated to study, over the course of more than twelve years, I never once had to correct or criticize his work. (Quoted from Yujin Yoshino Hideo.)
Comment by Hideo
Aizu was very strict and would scold me if I became even a little careless. Despite this, the scolding always came face-to-face or via a letter and he would never resort to backbiting, and it was quite natural for him to praise people away from the spotlight no matter how angry he was with them. (Quoted from Aizu Yaichi Sensei wo Shinobu.)
