Summary Bushido - "The way of the warrior" - has been leading through the land of the rising sun for more than twelve hundred years. But the traces of the once powerful warrior caste of the samurai have been lost, on the data highways of modern Japan, are often only cinema spectacles for trendsetters. The paths of today's warriors lead to Kyoto. The city is considered a small Hollywood. Even today, the blockbuster "Samurai" is still flushing tens of millions of yen into the pockets of resourceful film producers. One of the last enclaves of ancient Japan is GION, the Geisha quarter of Kyoto. Even today, the professionals of upscale entertainment can be trained here for up to ten years. Dance, singing and conversation - heavy food in light industry. Some consider her to be a noble prostitute, others a noble solo entertainer who plays plucked instruments, sings and more or less witty chatter in between. The truth lies somewhere in the middle. Businessmen in Tokyo are worth up to 1500 dollars for their presence at a dinner: per evening and person. According to Nippon's press, the warriors of today's Japan are the Sumotori, modern "demigods in fat". And everyone really knows them, because Sumo is a national sport. Her temple is located in the middle of Tokyo and is called Kokugikan. Since the Hawaiian Jesse Kuhaulua invaded the Sumo phalanx in 1964, a spectre has been circulating: a non-Japanese could become a grandmaster, in Japan's weighty pastime, which the Shinto gods themselves are said to have prescribed for humans. Unthinkable.
