Rediscover Tokyo 1


I met Karamoon's childhood friend _TRAINER and his girlfriend HELS on the day before yesterday for the first time. They are lucky couple who can afford travelling the world taking 6 monthes(!)
They got an information that if they have a Japanese to call up Sumo stable and ask for a tour, they'll be allowed to come and see their morning exercise. That was a exciting idea for me too so I checked the websits of Sumo stables and find one which opend their number to bublic for the tour. I found out there are more than 40 Sumo stables.
We met up at 6:45 in the morning and went to the stable, "Dewano-umi beya".
I was a bit nervous when I opened their door because Sumo world is strict about manner and I was expected to explain _TRAINER and HELS the manner. But what is the manner!?
We saw a massive wrestler who worked so hard having extreme shortness of breath and almost crying (he seemed). He hurt his back pushing his opponent hard from underneath.
After watching Sumo, we went to "Ghibuli Museum" by Hayao Miyazaki, famous animation producer for "Spirited Aaway". The museum was very good. The attached picture No.2 is a miniature of his anime atelier. It's like the real stuff.
I noticed that I couldn't take photos inside the museum...
