Just a 10 minute walk from our hotel is the famed sumo tournament building, where sumo wrestlers are gearing up for the grand tournament on September 25. We caught a glimpse of them outside the arena, and plan to attend a tournament tomorrow. Their fashion is myriad and impeccable.
In the afternoon, we watched a kabuki play at the Kabuki-za Theater. Kabuki is a traditional Japanese play with strange voices, archic Japanese, and an all-male cast (including women parts). No filming is allowed inside, but this is the outside of the theater.
Looking forward to tomorrow’s pictures. Have fun!
Many rainy days I can see but it is a unique exoerience in so many ways
Yes, many days here in Japan have been rainy, though it does give walking near the temples a nice charm 🙂
Oh Man I surely won’t mess around with those Sumo fighters, they look kind of large. Shame they won’t allow filming in the theater that would have been nice to see all male performers with women parts. Wow. Enjoy love ya both God bless.
