A sumo wrestling 相撲 card! I love it. Sumo, of course, is a traditional form of wrestling that dates back over 2000 years. It is steeped in tradition and ritual. Life as a wrestler is highly regimented, with rules regulated by the Japan Sumo Association. Wrestlers live in communal sumo training stables, known in Japanese as heya, were all aspects of their daily lives - from meals to their manner of dress - are dictated by strict kyara tradition. The lifestyle has a negative effect on their health, with sumo wrestlers having a much lower life expectancy that the average Japanese man.
This is a great reproduction of a vintage Hallowe'en card. The writer says she "think you celebrate Halloween in Canada." We sure do and it is one of my favourite holidays. Cassopolis is a village of 1712 named after Senator Lewis Cass, who served prior to the American Civil War. Cassopolis is also where cat litter inventor, Ed Lowe, grew up! Lowe's company was worth US$500 million when he passed.
