Finally watched Tokyo Sweetheart (1952) and enjoyed it! It was cute and fluffy (or as cute and fluffy as a movie featuring the prolonged death of a character can be.) Setsuko Hara and Toshiro Mifune have a nice chemistry and there are a few genuinely funny moments. So, worth the search!

Tôkyô nagaremono (Tokyo Drifter, 1966)

"Otsuka! You call yourself a yakuza?"

"Money and power rule now. Honour means nothing!"

Nikkatsu‚ frustrated by the director's attempts #to inject avant garde visuals into their straight genre pieces‚ slashed his budget and his schedule and basically said make a yakuza film #and don't get weird. in response he delivered his most visually experimental piece to date‚ a pop art kaleidoscope take on the gangster #ballad which also critiques the lack of reward that comes from loyalty to a corporate system (i wonder what that could be about Seijun..)#and also manages to parody american western cinema and the burgeoning spy film boom. it isn't quite perfect (i get what the bar room brawl #scene is doing as pastiche‚ but it's still too long and too messy) but as a paring down of the themes of yakuza cinema (and then inverting #those themes‚ so that loyalty and honour become a weakness) mixed with the sheer joyful spectacle of the film is nothing short of joy #Watari and Matsubara would be reunited for the (excellent) Outlaw Gangster series‚ which plays these same tropes deadly straight

Tôkyô nagaremono (Tokyo Drifter - The Man from Tokyo) 1966 🇯🇵 dir. Seijun Suzuki

"- ¡Eres solitario!. - Tú estás haciendo tu propio camino. Pronto sabrás lo que se siente ser un vagabundo".

"Phoenix" Tetsu es un asesino a sueldo reformado que ha seguido el ejemplo establecido por su jefe, aparentemente arrepentido de su trabajo. Una vez alejado del mundo delincuente, Tetsu se encuentra vagando por las calles de Tokyo, eludiendo a la par que esperando una muerte segura a manos del villano Viper. Tan sólo le queda la compañía de su novia, cantante de un nightclub. (FILMAFFINITY)

Arashio-beya

The quickest way to witness some sumo wrestling is probably to watch a morning practice session in a stable (though we'd probably use the word "club" in Europe). Arashio-beya in Tôkyô is one such stable, with the nearly-daily practice watchable from the street.

On some days, wrestlers may come out to meet the spectators and pose for some photos. This happened on the day I was there.

While researching for this post, it appeared that these two wrestlers may be among the stable's most successful. Arashio-beya was founded in 2002, and has had four wrestlers reach the top division as sekitori. Their first one is retired and now manages the stable, and their second was Wakatakakage, who won their first major tournament in March 2022 - and who probably is pictured left (I'm confident it is him based on other photos, but I'm couching it slightly just in case I'm wrong). Wakatakakage is the youngest of three brothers who all wrestle for Arashio-beya, and one of his brothers is the third sekitori from the stable. The fourth and most recent is Kôtokuzan, probably pictured right.

For someone who knows absolutely nothing about sumo, looking back at that morning, it's neat to think I was in the presence of people who would fulfill their ambitions.
