What stood out was the "XX",  note my Toumai post dated January 28, 2011 entitled, The "XX" Fender Bender Trail!!.  Note the following from Kanjuro's wiki page: 

On-yumis
hi Kanjuro Shibata XX (御弓師 二十代 柴田 勘十郎 Shibata Kanjūrō born 1921 in Kyoto, Japan, died on 21 October 2013 in Boulder, United States).

His occupation as bow maker is an addition to the "Bow/Bough/Yumi" pattern-cluster.  Note as well where he died... Boulder is an addition to the "Rock/Stone/Peter/Boulder" pattern-cluster.

Yumi (弓^?) is the Japanese termfor bows, The yumi is exceptionally tall, standing over two meters, and surpassing the height of the archer (ite, 射手). They are traditionally made by laminatingbamboo, wood and leather, 

With hearts as big as the autumn moon, we can magnetize the

great heart of our enlightened lineage, the heart of the Vidydhara Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and we can strengthen our family connection through meditation practice
