MASK AND WHIG: Continuing this blog's round-the-clock coverage of political news from the Iwate Prefecture comes word that Prefectural Gov. Hiroya Masuda has relented from his demand that The Great Sasuke remove his mask before joining the prefectural assembly.

In the true spirit of politics, however, both sides have compromised. Sasuke -- no stranger to being on the firing line -- is having a new mask designed for his official duties, one which will show more of his face around the mouth area, thus helping the public gauge his emotions more clearly (per Masuda's demands).

In addition, Sasuke says the mask will feature an official Iwate Prefecture emblem on its sides.

In addition, did you know that Kanegasaki, Japan, part of the Iwate prefecture, is a sister city of Amherst, Mass?
