She’s a dumpling maker by day, but at night, 82-year-old Sumiko Iwamuro turns DJ in Tokyo.

Iwamuro, whose moniker is DJ Sumirock, spins techno music for a crowd some 60 years younger than she is.

A hit on the Tokyo club scene, she performs once a month in the heart of the city’s red-light district.

Weird though the Japanese are famous for being, their respect for their elders is worthy of the highest of praise. There really is no distinction among the ages there. All are treated with sincere consideration.

American culture could learn much from them.

Well, we used to be that way. Before the 60’s.

Good for her!

I’m a metalhead, so I’ll not run into her. Kabukicho is full of fun and weirdness though.

Us metalheads avoid that music like the plague anyway.
