Work done at this clinic may well be ‘very well, very fine’.
But it’s to be hoped that the surgeon is a little more methodical with his knife than he is with the English language.
*Many thanks again to Ben for the picture.
(More) whale for sale
Japan’s whale hunting scientists may well be accused of many things, but laziness certainly isn’t one of them; their research related by-products turning up all over the place.
As well as school kids eating the stuff and its availability in dainty little cans, whale meat is now easily purchased fresh.
Quite cheaply too.
Ideal for burgers apparently.
Sumo give away #4
With the summer sumo tournament currently huffing and puffing its way to a close, it seems the perfect time to once again give away a few more banzuke.
Due to the resounding success of the bang-out-a-haiku-for-a-banzuke approach adopted back in March, the format will remain the same this time too. Also, topic wise there are no restrictions again — so whether your effort is humorous or even heartfelt, just stick to the format and you’ll be in with a chance*.
Is five, followed by seven
Then five to finish
Finally, as a bit of inspiration — and an excuse to once again show off a rare decent-ish photo — is a picture of Toki and his phenomenal facial hair.

*Winners will be announced (and contacted by email) on August 20th, as I’m on holiday until then. Tokyo Times however will continue to be updated due to a backlog of mildly interesting pictures and the fantastic invention of ‘future posting’.
Foot fault
The offspring of those in the entertainment world are well versed with the notion of nonsensical names, with many of them stuck with what can only be described as mind-boggling monikers.
Family names are another matter altogether though. Yet despite its unusual nature (in Japan at least), Mr and Mrs Foot could never have dreamed of the problems such a name would present their son.
Although admittedly it was his choice to become a dentist.
Clumsy capture
Cool building.
