More than a hundred people in Israel today enjoy kendo, a Japanese martial art of sword-fighting.

All Japan Kendo Federation (AJKF) sent to Israel Kendo & Budo Federation (IKBF) 20 sets of carbon-fiber-swords, uniforms, protective gears, etc., including those of children size.
Ambassador Sato made his remarks in Hebrew, expressing his appreciation to IKBF for their contribution to spreading the Japanese culture to the people of Israel.
