The coffee shop, Cobu, is in the women clothes shop, Sumire.

And I've loved those ornament very much since I had removed to this town.

Can you do this posing?
I could do in the summer of 2011.
But last summer I couldn't. Now, of course, I can't.
I always use the four feet stick to exercise the old warier arts. I'm no concern with the modern military arts, Kendo, Judo, Aikido etc,.
I starts again the exercise of old warier arts from the child play in the old arts. I try it everyday with a long towel for this four feet stick.
This book is very useful to get back the active body movements.
The old warier arts is not sports but physical exercises to live well.
