This is my very dear friend, Chieko together with me during our journey to Japan during the summer of 2000.
My two younger friends: Conoko, and Akira Yamamoto. |
I just love the beautiful colors of the traditional formal dress these ladies were wearing while I was shopping in Miniyama
Sight seeing with my friends, the Yamamoto family, in slightly more western styled attire.
I was very honored to particpate by playing my koto during the annual koto concert in Kyoto with my fellow students, and fellow koto players. To view a picture of our concert click here.
