my friends

I went to Tokyo to yesterday, and met friends of my school days.
They used to play Japanese archery, "kyudo", with me.

We enjoyed a long talk.
Their type of occupation were various,
a salaried worker, a owner of 3 coffee shops, a owner of chinese
restaurant at Ginza, a thoroughbred farmer-turned-worker.

All of them were walking road of their life.

By the way, I couldn't take many pictures because I talked about my school days.
Sorry, there is no picture just like Tokyo.
