Day MDCCCLXXIII, part II

Even before the visit to Hatta was finished, one of the messengers came with a note from Boris to me. He wanted us for a dinner and wrote explicitly, that he is not taking 'no' as an answer. A bit later we left, and since it was still pretty early, we started by visiting Nobuo and his Bushido group.

My mother was fascinated by Japanese architecture, and actually scared of all the samurais training behind the main building.

- I don't like the swords - she kept whispering to my ear.

Tihana was complitely diffrent. She was mesmerized by them and kept looking with an open mouth, as they practiced their swings.

I ended up asking Nobuo to show us around instead, and that was something my mom really enjoyed. The thin, paper walls, the beautiful wooden construction, curved roofs, and amazing furniture inside. We even had some green tea, but since we already were invited by Boris for food, I politely refused to eat at Adachi's place.
