the 2018 JAS Yearbook

[Luc Taelman]

Believe it or not, that onsen still smells to sulphate, or are it the volcanic gases?

[Luc Taelman]

Jan, thank you for the great article about the Yonezawa teppo!
The hunt for this iconic weapon can start now!

[Jan Pettersson]

It was my pleasure, Luc! And as we have been told, it was very well recived in Yonezawa.
The only drawback is that the price on the Yonezawa matchlock will skyrocket

Talking about Katchu Gods, I received a great, well illustrated, full of knowledge, yearbook today!

Arregato gozaimasu dear Katchu Gods!

Happy for you, Mischa!
No postman made it passed the ice wall yet...
Hopefully tomorrow

I am happy you enjoyed it Mischa! Most of the information is never published before, and will change the way we look at momonari, teppo and the Fukutake’s works.

just received the JAS yearbook.

This is a superb publication! No time to read it now but from what I can see this is a first class work.

Congratulation to the team who made and released it !

Fred,

Glad you like it!
We are already working on one of the articles for the next issue.
My issues arrived today in Japan, and most of them will be send already to several members of the Japanese board tomorrow. I talked with Takemura san on the phone today to let him know his article came out very fine and he looked forward to receive it in the coming days.
The publication of the first yearbook triggered the Japanese board to publish the society magazine in color. I wonder what effect this one will have

And the wait continues...



But I’m happy to hear that the Yearbook looks good, even if I will be the last one to see it.
