Happy New Years! (明けましておめでとうございます！)

We have come to the end of another year. Hope 2018 was good for everyone. For me, this has been a prosperous year in many different ways. Besides continuing to provide content for my blog and start a new business venture or two, I’ve been able to make contact with people both online and offline in my area of expertist: martial arts and Japanese translation. Both were by chance and have had positive outcomes. I hope to keep good relations like this, and more,

For 2019, expect a variety of topics regarding Japanese culure, traditions, and historical figures (a little less on the Kuki clan this time….). A couple of more posts regarding my own personal martial arts training experiences (both past and present) are in the works as well. There are also plans to expand on what my blog (as well as my training group) can offer; one part of that will be unveiled early this January. We’ll see how that fairs out.

Once again, I thank all those who continue to supportmy efforts through “Light in the Clouds” blog, as well as all those who follow & read my contents. Looking forward to another fun & prosperous year in 2019!
