More birds! I am loving these ones too.

Oh, as a birdwatcher I love this one! It's a great portrayal of a Japanese Pheasant. It will have to go on my list of top 10 kesho mawashis!

Wait, you're a birder too? That would make two Geordie birding and sumo enthusiasts on this forum!

Wow! Another Geordie!! Welcome. I too was born and bred in Newcastle, but have been in Canada since 1973.

This reminds me of an ad that I saw in a magazine in 1990, which I liked so much I kept it. Can anyone recognise the sumo wrestler in it, or is it just some model made up to look like one?

I'm not a big fan of the highlights, but couldn't see any exclamation mark so that I could vote. I'm sure it's just me, but I find them too loud, and unnecessary. I'd rather just go straight into today's video. On the other hand, I do like font day!

May I suggest that "Yokozuna no longer" would fit the scan of a haiku better! Cheers, Getayukata

Hmmm, looks like I missed one or two when I was there in 2008!

Another very different one from Yokosuka!

Yokosuka, also from 2008

Oh wow - you mean I am not the only person who went round photographing the manhole covers in Japan? They were pretty amazing. Here's one from Tsukuba that I took in 2008.

Two yusho, no zensho

Thank you Yutarotanaka for bringing this program to our attention. I really enjoyed it!
