Taking Aim

When Tokyo hosts the Olympics this summer, Member Toru Abe will have his eye on one particular sport.  

When he craves his favorite meat dish, Toru Abe doesn’t visit his neighborhood butcher. He travels more than 800 kilometers to the wilds of Hokkaido and stalks his prey, rifle in hand. Abe hunts deer to feed his family, an uncommon way of putting food on the table in the modern metropolis of Tokyo.
