Greetings!
As the title of this thread suggests, I'm from Sweden. I've always been fascinated by Japan's culture and history, and this fascination has grown even stronger since I began practicing kendo and zazen. I'm still a novice in these arts and I obviously have much to learn. The fact that it will take a lifetime to master them doesn't discourage me - on the contrary!
I'd like to take the opportunity to express my sympathy with the Japanese people and the hardships they have to endure right now. We follow the development attentively over here, and there are both government and private initatives to send help. We all hope that Japan's ordeal will come to an end soon.
