(3252) Swordsmen wanted --Asakusa edition

A little while back I had posted a sign from Ibaraki where a local kendo school was looking for young swordsmen. The other day, I saw a similar one in Asakusa, something that surprised me since the Taito Ward (台東区) where Asakusa is located is one of the most active in kendo --it has sixteen dojo for a population of about 200.000 people (I think it's the 3rd smallest among the 23 wards that make up main Tokyo).
