Japanese FUROSHIKI
I have found some interesting thing about the Japanese handkerchief is called "FUROSHIKI". Furoshiki is used by Japanese from long time ago, maybe from Edo period?? The way to use it is very simple, just put the thing in the middle and tie up the 1 corner to another, and then same to others.
It is very convenient and beautiful.

Kyudo
There are 8 moves in Kyudo. Meditation and precision are very important. Festivals are held during the year in Kamakura and Kyoto to watch the form
of archery in action. We had a very special performance. Amy M. Byrnes
