Keep Looking At It

This is one of the most popular photos on my flickr account.

Arch?!

What is it?

It's a picture taken in Omiya station with a group of young men who were carrying the equipment for Japanese archery. (I spoke to them very briefly in my poor Japanese and they were delighted to explain what they were carrying and to have their picture taken with a group of us.)

Why is it popular? A couple of years ago, someone on a fencing (?) forum linked to it and ever since then, it gets a couple of hits a week from people searching for information on Japanese fencing.

Strange, no?
