"A child was sent to a school when he reached the age of seven, and the annual or semiannual ceremony usually took place when a young samurai had reached the age of fourteen, but might take place earlier or later depending on how well the student had learned the basic techniques of his school. It was the decision of the student's sensei as to when he was ready to take the trials. A sensei would lose face if he allowed a student to face the trials before he was ready."@en .
