The Japanese Legacy Symposium IV in New York

[Markus Sesko]

I think this is my very first post here on the forum but I just want to say that the Japanese Legacy Symposium IV was just awesome. Each day of it had so many highlights that it's hard to distinguish between all the superlatives. I didn't take that many pics as we had our pros on the spot, Jo and Henry, so I just refrain from uploading them, just one from when Kanno sensei impromptu fixed a display at the Barbier-Mueller museum and one from the dinner in Dallas when certain birthdays were celebrated

Shout out to EVERYONE organizing this event: Thank you!

Simple quiz: how many times in your life will you be able to see all three amazing Muneakira masks from very close and without a glass case... ?

While Kanno san (who is actually participating in Yabusame and the amazing Soma Noma Oi festival, so knows a bit about the reality of wearing armor and riding horses Samurai-style...) was making adjustments to the cool horse Setup, Mr. Barbier-Mueller was watching while one of his assistants was taking a video of the adjustments.
