The Toros of Kagoshima archipelago

Who knew they raised fighting bulls in the south of Kagoshima. They don’t have matadors, the bulls push each other.

They walk them on the beach to strengthen their bodies.

If you open this link with Google Chrome set to translate to English you can search for information on this bull culture.

Tokunoshima is about a day ferry ride from my place. I’m kind of interested to go down there sometime and see the bulls. I bet it’s not been written about by anyone who is a native Spanish or English speaker. Could be a story.

I had no idea about this stuff. They do it in four different prefectures and in Okinawa it’s been going on for 780 years!

I love this from the Japanese web-site:
"If a cow removes a dairy cow, it is edible."
