Since my last update one year and a couple of month have gone by and some things have changed. I started to live in Tokyo and private things have kept me busy from updating.
I realized in the last year, that visitors are mainly interested in Kyudo and so I decided to keep this blog in that direction and update from time to time about Kyudo in Kanto and Japan.
When I came to Tokyo last year in March and started to practise Kyudo in a Dojo close to where I live, I was really surprised that with me there were only two archers shooting "Heki" style. Later, after I have attended some competitions and examns, I came to the conclusion that in Kanto probably only a hand full of people practise Heki and most of them hidden, not attending competitions or examns. So I felt quite lonely, but luckily found Sekine Sensei, with whom I practise now for almost one year two to three times every week in the evening after work. However, I was really lucky to live for two years in Okayama, where about 50% of the archers shoot Heki and I'm always keen to go back and shoot in Tokuyama Dojo again.
I will try to post from time to time some more things related to Kyudo in Tokyo.
