FROM THE MIDORIKAI ARCHIVES

So my post on sumikiri and (for some unknown reason) especially the hats has induced nostalgia in a few alums reading this blog and I ended up with a few AMAZING pictures which were so awesome I had to get permission to share them. 
Check out the fabulous sumikiri stylings of earlier years (featuring two of my previous teachers Aaron and Mike) as well as the world famous Midorikai sombrero as modeled by my teacher Glenn sensei!

 And look! Gary sensei laughing at the absurdity of the Midorikai students' situation.

 Here's Mike from Colorado in his sumi-checking frat bro disguise.

 Mike even more bro-ed out.

 Aaron of Arabia.

This is way more sinister than anything we managed.

AND NOW! Glenn sensei and the Midorikai sombrero! (Seriously, where are these things and why don't I have one?)
