We are enjoying some complimentary tea in the lobby of our ryokan, which is decorated in traditional style. We are seated next to a suit of 18th century armor with a kyudo set that has a spectacular quiver (I think it doubled as a matchlock stand given the topmost fitting). Soft jazz in the background is nice but I wish it was koto or shamisen.
