I was aware of Aaron Woolfolk’s (Kochi-ken, 1991-93) film The Harimaya Bridge.  But I didn’t realize there’s also a frisbee team in Kochi called the Harimaya Bashis.  (Makes more sense if you’ve been to Kochi or seen the film and the story behind the bridge.)  It turns out they’re involved with a Kochi Flying Disc Association event for October 10 at the Kochi Municipal Sports Complex (shiei) consisting of a day of various frisbee-related sports and activities.

JetWit would love to post a write-up and/or any photos from the event if someone reading this happens to attend.  But mostly this post is just an excuse to share the Harimaya Bashis’ super sweet logo.
