Archery of the East
In East London, chaotic and alienated Muslim teenagers are being
transformed by learning archery.

understand. Yasser decided to set up an archery school, convinced by
the transformative powers of this ancient sport. As they practice, we

KKK - Kimono Klad Kuties: Japan's Coming of Age Day (Seijin-no-Hi) Part I
I recently uploaded a photo montage pod on Japan's Coming of Age Day or Seijin-no-Hi. Here's my blog article with more info on the celebration.
"On Seijin-no-Hi, girls will wear a special type of kimono known as a furisode. A furisode has long sleeves ..... Around their waist is tied a wide belt known as an obi. The obi of young women are often more decorative than those of older women and is tied a certain way .... A full furisode kimono can cost as much as a new car. Some families might rent one or pass one from mother to daughter."
