Beautiful sumos
I’m actually surprised I haven’t seen any sumos before since I live only a few stops from the famous “Kokugi-kan Sumo Arena”. Waiting for the train to Ueno to see Tomoko last Saturday I suddenly spotted two giants. I had only seen them on TV before, never in real life and I was totally amazed. They wore beautiful male kimonos and their hair was neatly done. We entered the same train and I couldn’t help staring at them the whole ride through. They talked cheerfully to each other and once in a while they touched each others hair to make sure it looked nice and proper.
I didn’t want to miss the opportunity so when the three of us left the train I asked if I could take their picture and I could. So here is my proof to you all – I’ve seen two sumo wrestlers!
PS. For all the Swedish people: enjoy your Lucia celebrations!
