I was at the Natsu basho in 2017 and had upstairs A-chair tickets for the first 8 days. It was a great experience to be there in person, and well worth the price and the hassle to get everything organized. I arrived a week before the basho and was able to watch some keiko at Oitekaze-beya too.

A huge amount of work for one huge bowl. Wow. Hungry now... I'd like to jump in a plane and go to that great ramen place that featured in a documentary some time ago.

I'll take slow over not being able to see anything at all.

I asked it before, now I'm asking it again: is the prize Trump presented just the trophy and a change to shake hands with the POTUS, or is there something else attached, like money or a quantity of a product? Expressing the hope that the prize will be awarded in the future suggests the latter and that the huge trophy is destined for the trophy case at the Kokikugan. What does the tournament winner get, exactly?

You are right; even Takanohana could not bring reform.

Day 15 -- Tamawashi

Day 14 -- Tamawashi

U.S. dignitary motorcade routes are classified information. "inside information" would mean a security breach leading to instant dismissal and legal action. "Outside information" could be enough to reconstruct possible routes from noticeable SS periphery checks and other unusual behaviour.

Day 13 -- Daieisho

Day 12 -- Endo

Day 11 -- Kotoshogiku

Day 10 -- Kotoshogiku I missed Day 9 because life intervened with my ability to go online. Not the forum's fault. Entirely mine.

I remember seeing that before, and have the same questions still: what is his name? Where is he from? How old is he? What sumo club is he a member of?

Day 8 -- Mitakeumi
