It was raining hard and the wind was quite strong. I gave up to wear KIMONO or Japanese traditional outfit. KIMONO, the proud Japanese tradition. But too hot in summer, too cold in winter, so difficult to walk, and getting stains when raining...Wearing KIMONO is really uncomfortable.

It used to be that ...

It was quite recent that I first saw sumo live, and I can tell y...
