A friend was preparing for a visit to Japan. He would be spending a few days in Osaka and wondered about things to do in Japan’s second-biggest city. I said that I’d seen that the Grand Sumo championship would be underway there during his trip. It might provide an interesting cultural experience.


The Tyranny of a Thousand Zooms

They are more sophisticated versions of campfire ghost stories.
