I knew they were greedy sods but thought it was just for the grub. even the wage for a low ranking sumo, 1 million a month, is 3 times more than many whole families have to live on.
no, try a little taste of reality instead.

things were better in my day, used to be all fields round 'ere
Posted in: After the war, the generation that rebuilt Japan rose above hunger, filling their bellies on whatever was at hand; when not working they smoked like chimneys — and yet they accomplished vast enterprises and achieved the world's longest life expectancy into the bargain.

Japan has as rich and interseting a culture of myths and legends as anywhere else. Koizumi Yakumo's 'Kwaidan' or the 1964 Kobayashi film are incredible. the story "mimi nashi Hoichi" gives some background on the Heike crab story based around Shimonoseki. As for UFOs,the supernatural. ghosts etc.. I dont believe any of this stuff, but am still fascinated by the local versions. good article, thanks
