Rugby

I searched about rugby union from many sports of New Zealand. Rugby is very famous in NZ.

The national team of NZ is called All Blacks. And they are ranked at top of the world. They won the world cup only once in first convention. But All Blacks is still the strongest in the world!!
And also All Blacks is popular for Hakka. It is like a traditional dance with traditional words. People did Hakka before they go to war or somewhere dangerous long time ago. All members of All Blacks do Hakka before they play rugby. Because rugby is quite dangerous to play, so they raise their feeling strong and extinguish their fear. There are many variation of Hakka. Usually they change Hakka once at a year. You can check out some of it from YouTube or etc.
In NZ, there is pro rugby league. It’s called Super 14. There are 5 teams in NZ, 4 in Australia and 5 in South Africa. They play games these 3 countries. 2 teams from NZ were top 4 teams in the last season.

In Japan, rugby is not so popular like NZ, and I think most of people don’t know how to play it. National team of Japan is not good in the world cup or any international match except against Asia countries. But Japan plays continuance in the world cup at several times because Asia is not good for Rugby. In it, Japan has never win yet. Last time, they draw by Canada, it is very historical thing!! Because they won the point!! When I was watching it, TV program shut before games finished, because of time up. After it Japan took the try in the loss time, they drew. I was bad luck, couldn’t see it!!!
There is rugby league like super 14 in Japan. It’s called top league. There are 14 teams. If you want to know about it click here and get information.

Festival

I searched about Kurama fire festival.
This festival is held in October 22 every year in Yuki shrine Kyoto. Kurama fire Festival started since 940 when Yuki shrine was moved to Kurama from Kyoto imperial place for guard there. This festival　is one of the strangest festivals in Kyoto. Other festivals are Yasurai Festival and Cow Festival. They are the 3 size strange festival in Kyoto. The festival starts at six in evening and at midnight it finish. During the festival, there are some traffic regulations. And there is no parking near from Yuki shrine, so need to go there by train. And it takes about an hour from Kyoto Sanjo station. And it often said festival in Kyoto is elegant and gorgeous, but Kurama festival is wild and dynamic. So it would give us different emotion.
