On the way to my Japanese class, I was waiting at the Harajuku metro station for my train to arrive, when I spotted that girl, in her kyudo uniform. Kyudo is Japanese archery that’s been practiced since the samurai time. I sometimes see Kyudo students on that line and I always think that it must be an amazing type of art to practice, but the bow isn’t exactly the handiest thing to carry around in the subway. As always, I was drawn by the contrast of her traditional uniform (minus the backpack) with the modern metro station.
