Fukuoka

Twenty-seventh day of the sixth month, twenty-sixth of Meiji.

Yesterday a telegram from Fukuoka announced that a desperate criminal captured there would be brought for trial to Kumamoto today on the train due at noon.

A Kumamoto policeman had gone to Fukuoka to take the prisoner in charge.

Four years ago, a strong thief entered some house by night in the street of the wrestlers, terrified and bound the inmates, and carried away a number of valuable things.

Tracked skillfully by the police, he was captured within twenty-four hours, even before he could dispose of his plunder.

But as he was being taken to the police station, he burst his bonds, snatched the sword of his captor, killed him, and escaped.

Nothing more was heard of him until last week.

Then a Kumamoto detective, happening to visit the Fukuoka prison, saw among the toilers a face that had been four years photographed upon his brain.

yeah it's a shame we don't have that kind of pinnacle pyramid effect where because it used to be your season was built around two races right and this was before well the real issue is running doesn't own the sport anymore but there used to be cross-country nationals and road nationals and then you tag road relays on the end of that Road season, everyone's kind of hanging on broken and you turned up for the team.

But now because you can race a marathon in Sydney or, you know, Christchurch has moved into April or you can go to Tokyo in March or you can race Fukuoka or Osaka or whatever, Valencia.

Where's Caden off to? Somewhere in Poland, Walslow? So instead of running national 10K road champs, we've got arguably half a dozen of us not here.

And

coffee and tea houses is not expressly mentioned if you are not asking.

So they will say our matcha is coming from Muji or from Kagoshima or from Fukuoka.

However, it's actually not really advertised like it's more concentrated into the knowledge and there is this is this tea this matcha coming from this area that's been i don't know produced in 2026 has been left the tension has been left maturated in autumn and then has been milded and there's been a rich year now this kind of detail for the moment is not there and

You can get your luggage sent anywhere and it costs about 20, 30 euro.

So you can get your luggage sent from Tokyo to Fukuoka or Fukuoka to Beppu or wherever.

And it costs 30 quid.

You bring the bag on your back and then your luggage is waiting for you at your hotel.

The only negative thing that happened to me in Japan is that I booked a street...

It was called Street Food and Night Photography Tour.

Now, Fukuoka...

Actually, right? If you booked a tour that said Street Food and Night Photography Tour, what would you think that would entail?

Either way, his Oyakata and Hoshoryu acknowledge themselves that he really needs to return at full capacity and win a Yusho or at least Junyusho, anything less than I think they both very much understand, particularly if he comes back at half power or injured, will just open him up for more calls for retirement.

as a result i really don't expect to see hoshoryu in september uh he is a long outside chance for fukuoka in november likely january when we see him as he gets back to top form onosato he resists shoulder surgery he seems to have recovered somewhat he's got a little bit of consistency towards the end of the july tournament onosato truly struggled and showed But he did show flashes of his old self as the Basho went on.

But at some stage, my word, didn't he look awful.

Going for a backwards jump against Gonayama where he leapt over the bales.

But I mean, look at the forecast here, rain in Tokyo, Okinawa, and Osaka for Thursday into Friday.

But then we'll see the lifting of the western side of that front, and that'll bring some rain across places like Osaka into Fukuoka as we head into the weekend.

Meanwhile, we're looking at some strong thunderstorms along a cold front that's located across the Great Lakes as we look at what's happening across North America.

That frontal boundary will make its way down to the south and east.

Study helps to explain why rubbing skin alleviates pain.

Fukuoka researchers here say they have found a clue on why rubbing a hurt body part eases the soreness, a discovery that could lead to pain-alleviating therapies and medical equipment.

Makoto Tsuda, a pharmacologist and distinguished professor with the Kyushu University Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, led the team.

He said he and his colleagues are the first in the world to specify a population of touch sensory nerves that effectively attenuate pain.
