I'd see him a few times a year and we'd talk, and I knew he was really into kendo, but he never talked rank. Anyway, enjoying your blog very much. My wife and I were in Japan for three weeks in October, riding the rails, and I wish I was there now. Reading blogs like yours eases those pangs of longing just a little bit.

The honesty in the Japanese culture, I think, is one of the things that makes Japan more alluring than other countries (Such as the USA) for me.

Now that I'm older I'd consider doing it... My parents tried to get me into kendo when I was a kid–my uncle is a hachidan hanshi–but it wasn’t quite my thing.

Hope people will continue to respect and not start abusing Japanese honesty. I don’t want to see Japan going down the same path as the US in this aspect.
