We had a great study session in Japan hosted by NBTHK, which coincided with the Dai Token Ichi dates and very informative to many international visitors. Hosted by Dr Kugiya from NBTHK-Japan. Special thanks to Dr. Kugiya and Robert Hughes (who is our new Liason to Honbu) for arranging this even on such short notice.
Attendees included members of the American Branch, European Branch and other NBTHK members from Asia outside Japan. Thanks to all who attended. We look forward to more joint efforts with Honbu and other international branches.
