Twice a year at Asakusa’s famous Sensoji temple an old ceremony of dancers dressed as white egrets or herons take place, once in April and once in November. The ceremony is called Shirasaginomai (白鷺の舞) and was revived in 1968 using an old scroll as a basis that had been found in the temple, depicting a ceremonial dance in 1652.]

Zuma, Man of Mars

Zuma, Man of Mars (c. 1950) – Professional wrestler aka Carl J. Engstrom. Professional career: 1948 – 1963.

“In 1950, the world of wrestling was introduced to a masked competitor that called himself ‘Zuma, Man of Mars.’ Also known as ‘The Great Zuma’, the man entered the ring wearing a long cape secured with a chest plate bearing the letter ‘Z,’ and an otherworldly headpiece with an antenna-like top that concealed his face. Zuma gained popularity on the wrestling circuit during his debut year, garnering attention for being quick on his feet and winning the majority of his matches. It was that fancy footwork—and a striking resemblance—that ultimately unveiled the true identity of the mysterious Martian to be Carl J. Engstrom, a DePaul student and former star boxer for the university.”
