Morikawa-sensei's Farewell Message
Dear all,
Thank you very much for your “Keiko” with me.
As you know, I will leave tomorrow here to Japan.
Today is last day in US.
I have been Detroit November 2004 for 5 months and joined Detroit Dojo.
My first impression in US is “What aggressive Kendo in US!” I was very surprised.
And January 2006, I was Miami Valley Kendo Club member.
I got many friends through Kendo in US for 4 years especially American as well as Japanese. So I was very happy.
I appreciate it.
From now on I will work on Idemitsu Kosan Tokyo head office and try to continue Kendo, too.
I believe all of you continue Kendo.
I wish each of you a bright future, wherever life takes you.
My new e-mail address is the following
masayuki.morikawa@si.idemitsu.co.jp
PS)
Please forward my e-mail to your party if necessary.
Thank you.
Masayuki Morikawa
from Miami Valley Kendo Club
