Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

Has Usagi ever come across a Yabusame festival/demonstration? Don't recall ever seeing one. Maybe it’s not worthy of an entire issue, but perhaps it could take up a few pages.

Of course I’d still like to see the tea ceremony storyline.

What is a yabusame festival celebration? (for those ofus who didn't grow up in Japan)

An explanation would have made sense. I didn't grow up in Japan. My info comes from the internet, TV and UY. See below.....

Yabusame (Mounted Archery)

Ah, yes. That looks fascinating...that would be some good eye candy if Usagi participated. Which reminds me: Usagi, of late, has been doing a lot of traveling (natch) and, recently, fighting a lot. Don't get me wrong on this, Mr. Sakai, but you've proven his fighting skills to be above and beyond most warriors he can find. I think it would be an interesting departure if he were to use his formidable wit, as in Demon Mask. Sort of an Usagi-era whodunit kind of a thing.

I can see it now: Usagi "Columbo" Yojimbo...

I'm still lost as to your tea ceremony reference. There was a white usagi in Alice in Wonderland who stopped by a tea party...perhaps some reference to that could (and/or should) be made...

About two years ago Stan had mentioned that he would like to do some stories on Japan's "quieter arts"

They were the tea ceremony, flower arranging, and gardening.
