Tree Leaf

What was your original motivation to start Kyudo?

It was an accident really. I just blew into the dojo one day and stayed....

The challenge! As I have no hands or even limbs, shooting takes great ingenuity. I do enjoy taihai very much.

Gone With the Wind.

What is your favorite book?

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

How would you describe yourself in 5 words or less?

Hanging out in nature. 

If you could meet someone (dead or alive) who would it be and why?
