Four days into my trip and I am finally finding the time to start my road journal. It has been non-stop since we arrived, and any spare time has been spent recovering from jet lag.
Osamu James Nakagawa (
http://www.osamujamesnakagawa.com/), one of our sensei(s), has arranged for the Indiana University Photography program students to study with the Shasen students. James has built a great relationship with their sensei, allowing us to study there for an amazing price. This allows James some extra funds for some entertainment I wouldn't have done on my own. Perfect example, the Hanshin Tiger's baseball game!
