You may notice there are quite a lot of balloons left at the corner, so we ended up having a few more rounds of melee.

A moment of peace in mokuso when the "practice" finishes at regular time, with some of the white balloons still attached to their men-gane on the floor...

If you check out Japan Matsuri at the Archive, you'll know that this Balloon Party was the very first kendo LIVE thing I see...

The day after (Sunday) I went to Mumeishi Dojo's last practice of the year - and they were having the same party as well. Tho I missed the chance for snapping as I didn't bring my camera..
