Two sumo wrestlers at the Hakui matsuri.
This photo is long overdue. It the only that is completely embarrassing in composition and lighting. I still have not succeeded in discovering how to shoot in the nighttime.
This is from the Sumo competition at the Hakui matsuri. I took Rachel, and we met Tom there. To my surprise, many other JETs were also there. I remember very little of the night, except that I ate entirely too much, and I missed the last sumo match, which apparently was rigged.
And now the present. Having finished the last episode of Horatio Hornblower, whose absence of new episodes now leaves an inexplicable hole in my heart, I decided to go and explore Togi. This of course means danger like never you knew! I should never have brought my camera, it made my life so much harder.
To get to this beautiful place, I had to climb many a cliff. In fact, that cliff right pictured right there was among them. Never had I felt so keen of acrophobia until today, but I mastered it by exercising the caution that I typically do not bother to use.

The coast of Togi, and a very steep cliff that I had to climb down, and subsequently up again.
All over Togi are parks that are hidden behind the indeterminably thick forests of bamboo mixed with pines, and all manners of bushes. They come out of nowhere, and are always serene and somewhat lonely. This shot was taken before one actually moves beyond the bush to see the clearing. It was taken to demonstrate how surprising these park's presence truly is.
An unnamed clearing a little north of Ganmon.
I did more, but I lack the energy to tell of it. Tomorrow, when I wake up I shall post more photographs. For now, I hope you enjoy.
