2019 - 8th annual Seito Seiryu Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu Iaido Kokusai Renmei Taikai in Kamata, Japan

Apologies for taking so long to post pictures of the taikai, I didn't bring a laptop to sort though the over 1,000 pictures taken at the taikai until now.  A lot of blurry and duplicate photos were deleted.  Photos have a heavy Vancouver member bias, however there are some fairly decent images of other participants from the taikai.
