The Chikatsu Asuka Museum has a fascinating collection of artifacts from Japan's ancient Kofun (burial mounds) period.

Here is a small sample of the 1,400+ year old items that may be exhibited when the museum reopens after refurbishment next April

In May of 2014 my friend Tristan took the picture on the left on the Sasagawa Nagare Coastline in Niigata.

It was the start of my signature jump shots. I still have that shirt but it's OLD

Fast forward to the other day when I found this one. Dash Parr will jump again!
