just read an old Sumo World issue about 2 Hawaiian kids joining sumo September 1976, one whole hour of shiko every morning!

i cannot get enough of these pictures of the rikishi carrying his bride-to-be, so crazy cute!

that's a lot of shiko! supposedly one of the most important exercises in sumo. does anyone know that the expected shiko per day that a rikishi is suppose to do. for some reason the number 100 pops up in my mind....

Tochiozan was always a favorite of mine, sorry to see him go.

they usually look sharp in a suit. i found that the hardest part is that they have no clue on how to put on a tie.

bad acoustics in this room. will recording in the dining room again next week.

did anyone that some of Clyde Newton's material is available on Amazon for your Kindle? https://tinyurl.com/y8odtdnz

Front covers are next, along with the return of a new Sumo World's web site. Still in the early stages. Will get a front covers loaded. Will get article extracts and more. https://www.sumoworld.net/

I got the rest of the back covers up on Facebook, much faster. https://tinyurl.com/y6uhzx36

don't get your hopes up, it could just be 5-10 of me rambling / talking story from living in shitamachi.

OK, I have made a decision.

I am really into my scanner now. I think I will post my articles after these back covers? Maybe even the front covers. COVID-19 activity.....I've got free time.

I have started to post my back covers of Sumo World on an Instagram account. I am anxious for any feedback, so I can decide whether to continue or not.

I figure a lineman can convert to a sumo wrestler faster than a sumo wrestler converting to a lineman. Akebono played football, but if I recall, basketball was his first sport. Not sure how much of us are on this facebook group though I love this guy, Bum Day, in his four point stance, looking quite sumo-like.
