City near Osaka asks foreigners to apply for warlord role in parade

to apply to play the role of a feudal warlord in a local festival.

Feudal hierarchy? That role only suit for Japanese people.

I'll let my Korean friend in nearby Neyagawa know. He loves Japanese history. Thanks JT.

Once he gets the power, he may not give it up.

Must be blonde with blue eyes!

Pity my wife is Japanese. She'd be perfect.

My daughter lives nearby.

She'd put a few people in their place.

Why a foreigner for a Japanese lord? This woke nonsense is way off rails...

I checked with Tom Cruise and he is unavailable.

A link to this would be nice ! :)

I’ve always found this obsession with ‘foreigners’ and foreigners in Japan odd. Most other countries don’t go on about foreigners all the time or even make the distinction. In my country, we’re all just people, regardless of where we came from. We don’t really discriminate and treat people who are a bit different as some kind of novelty in this case and an annoyance in others. Anyway, good luck finding your ‘foreigner’ so that everyone can point at them.

‘Foreigners and foreignness’, how about an edit option JapanToday?!

Sounds interesting, though I wonder how far you would have to walk in 20-30kg of armor.
