“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

I enjoy hearing Fr. Murray as well. Great man.
Gee, those sumo wrestlers are big dudes. That must have been pretty interesting!
You’re like Waldo, one never knows where you might be next.
Wonderful models!
What are you reading? I’ve dabbled a bit in Lafcadio Hearn and enjoyed some modern historical detective stories featuring ?oka Tadasuke (not, I think, available in English translation), but I still largely clueless in Japanese literature.
Would you consider sketching us a list of suggestions, after your travels?
Morse: fun to see its (specialized) imagined revival in Andy Weir’s The Martian.
Yes, Fr. Iambic. Should work well with your radio’s built in keyer.
Caption:
Our superhero team will beat you up if you dodge the fare!
(especially the one on rollerskates…)
Re caption — those are school (middle through university) cheerleaders called “Oen”. The one in the middle is wearing ‘geta’ wooden sandals. They are probably cheering for some sort of passenger cooperation.
With that said, I like Phil_NL’s caption (^__^)

Fr. Z., please share the title of that novel! I’m always in the market for a good “period-piece” Japanese novel. . .
Fr. Philip Neri, OP
Oops! Cut-and-pasted the name of ‘Judge Ooka’ from Wikipedia without foreseeing macron problems. (I haven’t tried Shand (who’s story is not in the Internet Archive, though his Japanese Self-Taught is!), Edmonds, or the Hooblers, listed there.)
Any chance of meeting up with Fr. Peter Milward, Lewis’s old student and Shakespeare and Hopkins scholar (the 90th anniversary of whose birth is coming up soon, 12 October)?
Phil_NL–
Those aren’t roller skates LOL!

My dad brought several pairs back from his tour in occupied Japan after WW II all those many years ago. Now I’m wondering if they might be considered antiques…
Of course the caption is “But Unh-hunh Honey, lay off of my Japenses traditional shoes”! Glad Elvis and his back up are alive & well in the Tokyo subway.
Wonderful pictures as always! Thank you Father for sharing.
“Edo” et “sumo”. Manducasne multo, pater?
majuscule,
Maybe not, but then my entire caption idea works as well as a sumo wrestler in a Russian ballet! Unless the superhero-subway-conductor-squad can fly as well, but it doesn’t look that way.
It’s for the best the picture isn’t too clear ;)
Thank you, Fr. Z for the Japanese update. Its been 51 years since I was there. Many of the pictures were very familiar. Japan was preparing for the summer Olympics. I was there for 4 days during April of ’64. Also took the train to Kamakura for a day trip.
