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 16, 2024: Stayed at "Wakei Juku (和敬塾)," a university dormitory in Tokyo. In the evening, I participated in “Kenseikan (拳誠館)” karate practice at the dojo here for the first time in about 40 years. Although I couldn't move as well as I used to and was exhausted, I was very happy to reunite with so many old friends. It was incredibly nostalgic. https://tedsogo1996.blogspot.com/2024/05/may-16-2024-stayed-at-wakei-juku.html?m=1 Since this is an old student dormitory, the washroom is shared, which brought back fond memories of my student days. I enjoyed drinking until late at a social gathering with friends from Kenseikan, and the next morning, I had breakfast at Wakei Juku. May 18, 2024: The reunion of 1982 graduates from Wakei Juku West Dormitory was held in Roppongi, Tokyo.
