The rare appearance of a nitto (two sword style) kendo player at the 55th All Japan Kendo Championship in Budokan, Tokyo. His name is Yamana. His won the first round with a clean kote.
Another special farewell practice before I left for Canada and Paris for 3 months. I had to play matches with 5 people.
1. Lilli - me
2. Martin - me
3. Jens - me
4. Tino - me
5. Georg - me
I'm always on the right hand side.
This captures the enormous number of people in Tokyo. Taken at 8am on Thursday outside the Shinjuku station.
Note the woman giving out the pocket tissue say repeatively "Welcome. Thank you." at an amazing fast rate.
