Return to Keiko!

On 16th January, we were able to resume practice for the first time since October last year. But it was only allowed in less than 12 years.
A total of 24 people participated, including 19 junior members and 5 teachers. Junior members will grow if they don’t see them for three months. Everyone did their best. We’re very proud!
And continued online Suburi for members who are not yet allowed to participate in the hall.
