Yamabushi

Last Wednesday, I went to a udon-noodle shop with my co-workers. While we were eating very hard udon, which is now getting popular as "Yoshida-no-udon", very unique clothing men were coming inside the shop.... They are called Yamabushi or Shugenja. Maybe they climbed Mt. Fuji the day before and stopped for lunch on their way home.... Even in Japan we don't see such people often, so we were very excited!
