After watching the sumo for about 30 minutes Tamae proposed we stop at a museum of sumo history. Before heading in that direction, however, she revealed (with a faint air of “watch, I’m about to pull a rabbit out of my hat”) that we were standing within sight of Lord Kira’s house.

It’s early Tuesday morning. I’m deliberately skipping over about a day and half; if I don’t catch up soon I never will.

We leave in the tiny hours of the morning on April 17; the first posting from Japan should appear here early the morning of the 18th. Here’s an itinerary [...]
