Japanese - Natsukashii

As I was looking more into this word I found this wonderful explanation. It is non-Aikido related but interesting.

It's like nostalgia, but describes a feeling more than a thing.

Here is the info again for the seminar in Jackson that was emailed out. I am planning on attending as many of the sessions as I can, so if someone wants to carpool with me they can. Also, here are some videos if you're interested: http://www.santarosaaikido.com/video.html
