Shizuoka – Town Shizuoka 2
This contribution is really very short and is supposed to deliver additional pictures about the city.

The fabulous and legendary Katana. Ok, that may be a little exaggerated, but it is true that there are many secrets around the Katana and that it also fascinates the western world. Katana means as much as sword. The way it is forged is unique in the whole world, even if Continue Reading
