Yonago Kendo Tournament



We drove up to Yonago in Tottori Prefecture to watch one of the teachers from my school fight Kendo. She is rated number three in all of Japan and also had the World number one on her side so it sounded like a must see event. It seemed quite a formal event as the crowd were so quiet. There are two really striking things. One is the masks, which are on their own somewhat intimidating, but it's more the screams they make. It's really like something for a horror movie. But it was entertaining to watch, especially as I knew who was fighting. My sensei also won all of her matches it good style.
