If you are in possession of knowledge it is vital to pass what you have been given. To jealously guard creativity as some kind of secret will only cast a shadow of doubt as to wether or not you have deserved your position.
Irezumi is a responsibilty as well as jewel to be cared for. Always keep in mind that you are a vital link in the chain between then and later that we call Tradition. Nevertheless you are nothing more than a link, and your effort should be guided to strengthen the possibilities for future Horishi to take the artform and the tradition to even higher levels.
