Kotoseiya Yuichi 3 Posted September 17, 2002 I once collected a list of dead heyas. Many of them live still as kabus held by various oyakata as heya-tsuki no oyakata (oyakata who don't own the heya they operate in). I'd love to learn anything about these heyas. Anyone? I agree this is quite heavy trivia. Ageishi* Arima* Chiganoura Chitosegawa* Dekiyama Edagawa Fujigane Fujisaki* Fujishima Furiwake Futabayama***** Gofuku* Goshoguruma* Goshonoura* Hamakaze Hidenoyama Ikazuchi Imizugawa* Inagawa Inosuke Jimmaku Kashiwado**** Katsunoura Kimigahama Kise aka Kimura Sehei Kiyomigata Kumagatani Kumagaya Kumegawa Matsuchiyama Minatogawa Nakagawa Nanatsumori* Natorigawa* Negishi** Nejigane* Nishiiwa Nishikido Nishikijima Ohdake Ohashi* Okido* Okudaira* Onaruto Onogawa Oyama Raiden* Sakaigawa Sanoyama Sekinoto Sendagawa Shibuya* Shikoroyama Shiratama Shonosuke*** Takeshima Tamagaki Tanigawa Tatekawa Tateyama Tatsutayama Tokiwayama Tomagashima* Umegatani Urakaze Wakafuji Yamashina Yamawaki Yatsugamine* Yotsugamine* Yukimiyama* * Ancient heya that don't exist any more as a kabu. ** Negishi was reserved for a family of the same name who had been the printer and publisher of traditional and official banzuke for the kyokai. *** Shonosuke was possibly related to former Kise (Kimura Sehei) -beya merged with Kiriyama-beya in 2000. Anyway it seems to have been a heya run by a gyoji when it still was possible. Shikihide (Shikimori Hidejiro) -heya is the last such exception currently run of course by a former rikishi, moto-komusubi Oshio. **** Kashiwado was naturally the yokozuna of the 1960's but I doubt he had a heya by his own name, possibly a dojo instead or then (and I think this is the most likely explanation) this was a more historical heya. ***** Futabayama's dojo in early 1940's, I guess. Dojo was historically a coaching ring set up by a still active rikishi that eventually separated to a heya of its own. Nimai-kansatsu was historically a rikishi who had become a toshiyori while still continuing his active career. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenjimoto 40 Posted September 18, 2002 Gofuku** Ancient heya that don't exist any more as a kabu. Um,... in this case, that's probably a good thing, for the english-speaking fans :) Cheers Zenjimoto 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
