Nice. I'll check it out later.
Went down to Shimoda the other day, some interesting stuff down there. Including the rather bizarre Toujin Okichi museum, which seems to be a museum enshrining Japanese racism for all to ignore! She was the geisha charged with looking after Townsend Harris for the good of Japan and ostracized for twenty years or so by her own community until she killed herself after Harris went back to the States. An interesting footnote to the Black Ship Saga.
Everybody goes there and says, oh what a shame, and don't make any connection to nowadays.
its safe to say that I train some martial arts. Im not that good really, but most people really suck, so I feel ok about that - Sunfist
