Eis outro assunto muito controverso no mundo do Karate. Controverso porque há muita coisa escrita, mas nada que fundamente as informações apresentadas. Além disso, algumas escolas de Okinawa afirmam ser "donas" da imagem de Buzāganashī, o que é um grande disparate!
Portanto, vamos começar pela pergunta óbvia: “Quem é Buzāganashī?”
Precisamos de um ponto de partida!
Vejamos… Eu escolhi uma afirmação que se encontra espalhada por muitos sites japoneses sobre Karate. Nestes sites existe uma foto e um breve comentário que será o nosso pontapé inicial. A foto pertence ao livro "沖縄の空手・相撲名人伝" “Mestres do Karate e Sumō de Okinawa” escrito por Nagamine Shōshin 長嶺将真(1986).

--- Isto significa simplesmente que esta imagem pode ser usada livremente…E a mesma é acompanhada pelo seguinte texto muito breve:
若き日の宮城長順と許田重発。
型分解、もしくは武備誌にある九天風火院三田都元帥（ブザーガナシー）のポーズを模して組手にしたものと思われる。
“Miyagi Chōjun e Kyoda Jūhatsu nos dias de juventude.
Pensa-se ser Bunkai de um Kata ou prática de Kumite imitando a pose de Jìutian Feng-hûo-yùan San Tían Du Yúanshùai (Buzāganashī) que se encontra no Bubishi.”
--- Hummm… “Jìutian Feng-hûo-yùan San Tían Du Yúanshùai” ?!?
De acordo com a cultura chinesa, Tían Du Yúan Shùai 田都元帥 “Marechal da Capital Celestial” é um dos principais deuses da ópera de Taiwan. O seu nome completo Jìu-tian Feng-hûo-yùan San Tían Du Yúan Shùai 九天風火院三田都元帥 significa “Marechal Tian Du do Palácio do Vento e do Fogo nos Nove Céus” está indicado no Sanjiao Yúanlíu Soushén Dàqúan 三教源流捜神大全 “Compêndio das Origens das Três religiões”. Segundo esta fonte, a característica de Tían Du 田都 era ser um deus menor, curando os doentes, afastando as pragas, cantando e dançando e perito em artes marciais!
--- Bem… E por que Tian Du está relacionado com o Gōjū-ryū?
De acordo com tradição do Karate de Okinawa, diz-se que: “Miyagi Chōjun 宮城長順 teria viajado à China – 福建 Fujian / Fukien – com o seu amigo Gogenki 呉賢貴 para comprar chá Wulong 烏龍. Tendo ouvido histórias a respeito deste deus e visto um pergaminho com a figura de Tian Du (Buzāganashī) trouxe-o para Okinawa – imagem que venerava diariamente (de acordo com Miyazato Ei'ichi 宮里 栄一 Sensei). Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, sua casa e dōjō foram bombardeados e a figura de Tían Du foi destruída. Depois da guerra, um dos seus estudantes - Madanbashi Keiyō 真玉橋景洋 - que já havia feito um desenho prévio da imagem, estava de viagem pelas Filipinas. Medanbashi, tendo a figura de Buzāganashī, pediu a um escultor local que fizesse uma estátua a partir da figura que ele trazia consigo. E assim fez o escultor. Então Madanbashi trouxe a estátua para Okinawa e ofereceu ao mestre Miyagi Chōjun como presente. Emocionado, Miyagi Chōjun coloca a estátua no Jundōkan dōjō 順道館道場 – onde está até aos dias de hoje.
--- Esta é a razão porque Miyagi Chōjun tinha interesse na imagem de Buzāganashī (o deus das Artes Marciais)! Acho eu! (^_^)
====================================================================
Here it is… another controversial matter in Karate world. It is controverse because there are lots of written subjects, but almost nothing fully developed to provide more information on the subject. Moreover, some Okinwan Karate schools claim to be “owners” of Buzāganashī image… what is a huge nonsense!
So, let’s start with the very obvious question: “Who is Buzāganashī?”
We need a starting point!
Let’s see… I choose a statement that we can easily find widely spread in Japanese sites about Karate. In such sites, there is a photo and a very brief comment that will be our starting kick.The source belongs to the book "沖縄の空手・相撲名人伝" Masters of Karate and Sumō of Okinawa” written by Nagamine Shōshin 長嶺将真 (1986).
Here is the photo:
(Important) Legal stuff about this photo:

--- It simply means that this picture can be used freely! This photo has the following brief text added:
若き日の宮城長順と許田重発。
型分解、もしくは武備誌にある九天風火院三田都元帥（ブザーガナシー）のポーズを模して組手にしたものと思われる。
“Miyagi Chōjun and Kyoda Jūhatsu in their youth days.
It seems to be a Kata Bunkai or to have been taken from Kumite imitating the pose of Jìu-tian Feng-hûo-yùan San Tían Du Yúanshùai (Buzāganashī) that can be found in Bubishi.”
--- Hummm… “Jìutian Feng-hûo-yùan San Tían Du Yúanshùai” ?!?
According to Chinese culture, Tían Du Yúan Shùai 田都元帥 (“Marshal of Celestial Capital”) is one of the main gods of Taiwanese Opera. His complete name is Jìutian Feng-hûo-yùan San Tían Du Yúanshùai 九天風火院三田都元帥 that means “Marshal Tian Du of the Palace of Wind and Fire in the Nine Heavens” and is mentioned in the Sanjiao Yúanlíu Soushén Dàqúan 三教源流捜神大全 “Compendium of the Origins of the Three Religions” and according to this source, Tían Du 田都 would be a júnior patron god, healing the sick, warding off plagues, singing and dancing, skilled in Martial Arts!
--- Well… And why is Tian Du related to Gōjū-ryū?
According to Okinawan Karate tradition it is said that Miyagi Chōjun went to 福建 Fujian / Fukien on one of his trips with his friend Gokenki 呉賢貴 to buy wulong 烏龍 tea. He heard histories about this god and saw a scroll of Tian Du (Buzāganashī). He brought the scroll back to Okinawa – it is said that Miyagi Sensei venerated the image everyday (according to Miyazato Ei'ichi 宮里 栄一 Sensei). During World War II, Miyagi’s house and dōjō were bombed and the image of Tian Du was destroyed. After the War, one of Miyagi's students - Madanbashi Keiyō 真玉橋景洋 - who had previously made a sketch of the Buzāganashī, was on a trip to the Philippines. Having a picture of Buzāganashī, Medanbashi asked a local sculptor if he could carve a statue just like the picture he had and so the sculptor did. Then, Madanbashi brought the statue back to Okinawa and offered it as a gift to Miyagi Chōjun. Miyagi Sensei then placed it in the Jundōkan dōjō 順道館道場 where it sits to this day.
--- That's the reason why Miyagi Sensei had special interest on Buzāganashī (god of Martial Arts)... I think (^_^)
