A message from Hori-sensei:
Recently, I have started to feel that my strength is declining, and although I am filled with loneliness, I have decided to retire in March.
During my 25-plus years at the school, I have had the opportunity to meet many people, and have countless memories. Thank you very much for everything (Thanks to all the dyes as well).
I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
