Kintamayama 47,115 Posted June 27, 2003 Tokitsukaze Ichimon took a bus to degeiko. Great opening sentence.They took a bus to sekitori-less heya like Minato and Shikihide bringing with them Tosanoumi and Juumonji for degeiko. Isenoumi Oyakata had the idea of strengthening the ties with the smaller heyas, and after Nagoya, there are plans for further strengthening. "If the sekitori come for degeiko, there will be more general interest around the smaller stables, generating more Heya activities, and maybe bringing in new rikishi. We are still in the planning stage, and after this Basho, we plan to make it an yearly event", he said. (Nikkan) Asashouryuu has a fan club in Nagoya. 50 people so far, headed by Diet member Enzaburou Wakao. He is a close friend of Meitoku Junior High's (Asashouryuu's alma mater) Principal. After asageiko, Asashouryuu visited three primary schools and an old people's home. He donated books at the schools. "It's very warm in Nagoya, but I ask everyone to contribute as warmly as they can to the Nagoya people", he said. No butts were kicked in the making of this post.

Yoavoshimaru 0 Posted June 27, 2003 Isenoumi Oyakata had the idea of strengthening the ties with the smaller heyas, I like Isenoumi Oyakata's idea. He appears to genuinely care about the state of sumo as a whole, not just himself or his heya. I wonder what he thinks of the kosho issue. No butts were kicked in the making of this post.
