Seiyashi 3,318 Posted December 29, 2022 Minor nitpick - the move Mainoumi pulls doesn't seem to be a hatakikomi, but something more of a hineri or katasukashi? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jomangor 8 Posted December 29, 2022 Since we're picking nits, Konishiki seems to say 'chomange' instead of 'chonmage'. Obviously he knows what's correct but I wonder if that particular metathesis is common. 2 hours ago, Seiyashi said: Minor nitpick - the move Mainoumi pulls doesn't seem to be a hatakikomi, but something more of a hineri or katasukashi?

Benihana 1,714 Posted January 12 There's an article about a new sumo book in the german SPIEGEL, sadly it's behind a paywall. https://www.spiegel.de/sport/sumo-buch-von-lord-k2-sumokaempfer-sind-sehr-maskuline-charaktere-ich-konnte-das-testosteron-riechen-a-af17da46-5e03-458c-88c1-51d2841a3681 The title translates to "Sumo wrestlers are very masculine characters, i could smell the testosterone." The article is about a new sumo book and the author (Lord K2) of the book shares some photos on his website. https://www.lordk2.com/sumo-book The book is available on Amazon for a decent price and from what i see on Amazon and the website, this is a sure buy for me, when it's published in march. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
