Komatsuryu - now in Adachi-ku

[Mark Buckton 1]

Covered it in passing about 6 months ago but as an SFer has made the trip to an empty building in Taito-ku this morn and mailed me all forlornly, best to mention that the club has moved for a spell and is now in Adachi-ku's Sumo sport - as odd as it sounds beneath an archery range.

They moved about 6 weeks back and will be in Adachi until April I hear. After that....

Changed their minds I am happy to say since they posted this last Sept;

Likely spot for relocation of 'activities' - Edogawa-ku (nice outfit they have there). No final decision yet but reason related to location (of home) of many of the kids. Adachi not considered sadly - just up the road - perfect.

One of the best dohyo(s) in the anateur game in Adachi (Tochiazuma's starting place - Shibuya too) and one of the members a wonderful old chap - former interpreter for the Macarthur team way back when. Great English and a wonderful home full of the business cards of so many names of lore in sumo. (First prize...)

Quite like the sounds of kyudo.

Back when I practiced, we were next door to a kendo club. That was rather distracting...

it is indeed an archery range. Rarely used it seems but the sumo club, through a door that seems to access the basement, metal stairs down then another non-descript door is a treasure.
