Subject: Help!  Furibisha vs. edge attack?

Hi.

I played a couple games of shogi yesterday (Hi George!).  I have been playing
furibisha quite often lately (sankenbisha in this question) and I have had
numbing attacks against my mino castle after my opponent gets his bishop to 4d
and uses that plus his lance and silver to strike at 1g, trading pawns on the
1 file first.

With George's permission (or maybe without it...  <g>) the next time we get
together we can record a game with this opening for the list's analysis.  My
question is, is this a sound way to break down the mino, from the edge?  If it
is, how is this best defensed?  If it isn't, how can it be punished?  And will
George Marino ever play against me again now?  :)
