Moriyama Sumo Program
I’m really looking forward to seeing sumo for the first time. We’re going to the Nagoya tournament on Saturday. Here’s an article about sumo barely surviving as a school sport in Kanazawa:

It’s worth clicking for the photo alone.
Money quote from a Ministry of Education spokesman:
Nowadays it’s difficult to promote a sport where the participants are basically naked.
Wow, it’s reassuring to see the education of a Japan’s youth in such able, perceptive hands. Following this logic, we’re sure to see the sharp decline in swimming in school athletic programs fairly soon, right?

No, we left him with one of Merin’s friends in Sakai because I didn’t know what to do with him during the tournament.

I think sports with naked people sell themselves, really. Too bad they don’t have hot-chick sumo wrestling. I’d buy season tickets for that.
