My name is Jon and I live in Los Angeles. I've visited Japan a lot so that's what this blog is about...visiting Japan, Japanese history and samurai movies.
Daibutsu, Kamakura
Daibutsu in Kamakura, June 2010. There were thousands of school kids visiting that day. It was still great fun.

Cool Umbrella
Here is a cool umbrella. It has a samurai sword handle. For those who want to pretend they are Saigo Takamori .......... or Tom Cruise.
Thanks for posting this, Tornadoes. This, ah, implement opens up the intriguing possibility of staging "kasa-chambara" fights ... Let's see who furls first....
Hehehe... my husband would love it :)

ReplyDeleteFor me also. But I just bought a new umbrella.
ReplyDeleteIf you draw an umbrella that looks like a 刀 (Samurai sword)...isn't there a chance the police might shoot you?
ReplyDeleteI don't think police in the U.S. are thinking about swords too much. If the umbrella looked like a gun, then you would have a problem.
