September 15, 2024: Attended the 30th-anniversary memorial service in Tokyo for Master Wataru Okawa (大川渉師範), the founder of Kenseikan (拳誠館) Karate, where I had an unexpected reunion with Mr. Nandana Wijewardana, who runs a dojo and teaches karate in Canada. I was also able to reconnect with many others I had missed, and together we fondly remembered Master Okawa. I was greatly inspired to learn that those who learned karate from Master Okawa during their student days are now thriving in various industries. < May 2014 in Canada > October 10, 1981: Celebration following a karate demonstration at the Wakei Juku dojo in 1981.

May 18, 2025: Yesterday, I stayed at Wakei Juku, a student dormitory in Tokyo, for the first time in a year, as there was a grand gathering of karate club alumni held at the Main Hall. This morning, I had breakfast in the cafeteria together with the current students. It reminded me once again of how strong and precious the bond is among those who shared the same meals and spent their youthful days together. Last year when I stayed here, breakfast in the cafeteria was bread, but this morning it was rice. Just like in the old days, rice and miso soup were available for unlimited refills. A memorial service for Master Oka, who passed away at the end of last year, was held on May 17th. Despite the rain, 70 alumni of Kenseikan Karate Club attended to honor his memory.
