The posture that is the most difficult in three basic attitudes why I used houkon for is this rahou.
I enable preparations for both offense and defense by letting I hold awakon in both hands with underhand, and an arm intersect.
A direction of awakon can face the ground basically, but a case in a high position can turn to a target than oneself in the sky.
Even if it takes out houkon, and it wants to use kogarashinojutsu immediately, it is common sense that hold rahou once.
