aderechelsea 124 Posted November 22, 2006 lake Ashi? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doitsuyama 1,173 Posted November 22, 2006 Here's the solution. As for the lake, it wasn't clearly specified, but it definitely is one of the five Fuji-lakes (Yamanaka, Kawaguchi-, Sai-, Shōji- and Motosu-lake). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for the lake, it wasn't clearly specified, but it definitely is one of the five Fuji-lakes (Yamanaka, Kawaguchi-, Sai-, Shōji- and Motosu-lake). the lake is identifiable by the position of / snow on Fuji-san - guess again - not all is in the database.

Well, when I can trust my brain database, which is unfortunately very fragmentary and not comparable to Doitsuyamas unequalled and unexhaustable one, it's the Lake Yamanaka, but I can be wrong. Anyway in the future everybody will name it Lake Sadogatake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sesostris 0 Posted November 29, 2006 Here's one I think is of Oorora, with some role-playing humor added. If you want to use the format for your caption contests, you can make your own motivational posters here. If any of you happen to be role-players, there's a ton of RPG-related 'motivational' posters here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doitsuyama 1,173 Posted November 29, 2006 Here's one I think is of Oorora, with some role-playing humor added.This isn't Orora, not even close. It's Torsten Scheibler, a quite strong ama-zumo wrestler. Orora is looking completely different. :-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orora is looking completely different. :-D Sorry (Nodding yes...) , I've only ever seen one poor-quality pic of Oorora, and I don't know any ama-zumo wrestlers. I just thought it was a good picture, and made a guess as to the identity. Edited November 29, 2006 by Sesostris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aderechelsea 124 Posted January 29, 2007 (edited) some really old photos ... (Taiho Era) to be honest i can only recognize Taiho and Sadanoyama from the following pics so if you know a name ... don't be shy ... mention it (I am not worthy...) CAPTIONS PROVIDED BY DOITSUYAMA (In a state of confusion...) Sadanoyama vs. Haguroyama Toyokuni, against Wakanoumi Dewanishiki, against Wakahaguro Kitabayama Fusanishiki Udagawa vs. Niigiyama/Shingiyama? (changed shikona later to Kiminishiki, see picture 10) Kitabayama (after beating Taiho in Aki 1962) Sadanoyama, against Iwakaze Kashiwado, looking forward to a yusho kettei-sen. After a 12-3 in Aki 1961 he was promoted to yokozuna. (he lost the yusho kettei-sen, beating Myobudani, but losing utchari to Taiho, a bout I have on DVD somewhere) Kiminishiki Sadanoyama, cleaning hands from salt Hirogawa? (I don't have this shikona at all) Iwakaze Kiminishiki Azumanishiki Myobudani Hagurohana Tsurugamine Kairyuyama Kitabayama Tochinoumi Kashiwado Taiho Taiho, vs. Haguroyama Myobudani, vs. Tsunenishiki Niigiyama? Yusho kettei-sen Aki 1962. Taiho, Sadanoyama at 13-2, 7th yusho for Taiho. Edited January 31, 2007 by aderechelsea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aderechelsea 124 Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) well ... noone contributed to the previous post so i'll just post some more. for today i have just one pic.

Kintamayama 44,191 Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) Tsurugamine, Terao's father Kashiwado I'm pretty sure this is Miyobudani, but I'm trying to remember this from 45 years ago.. Edited January 31, 2007 by Kintamayama Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aderechelsea 124 Posted January 31, 2007 I'm pretty sure this is Miyobudani you must be correct since the "bu" kanji seems the same with the "bu" in Daiyubu. but I'm trying to remember this from 45 years ago.. (Scratching chin...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kintamayama 44,191 Posted January 31, 2007 (edited) I'm pretty sure this is Miyobudani you must be correct since the "bu" kanji seems the same with the "bu" in Daiyubu. Can you copy the kanji as well? Then we'd know who these are for sure... It seems like most of them are from the early to end of sixties, which was "my time". I'm pretty sure Yutakayama (directly under Tsurugamine) and Wakachichibu are there as well. Edited January 31, 2007 by Kintamayama Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doitsuyama 1,173 Posted January 31, 2007 I'm pretty sure this is Miyobudani you must be correct since the "bu" kanji seems the same with the "bu" in Daiyubu. It's Myobudani or Myoubudani to be more precise, and I'm with Kintamayama here, having the captions can't hurt (I know, often they are in inconvenient places to bring together).

Tegata Kototenzan (the recently deseased John Tenta aka "Earthquake" of WWF) was really bored during those lessons. That's probably why he left Sumo so quickly and didn't follow on his 28-0 career start (feel free to correct me on that number).

Doitsuyama 1,173 Posted January 31, 2007 ok here goes ...with the order i posted them i am adding the text. I like that. My idea was - couldn't you just edit the original post and put the captions right under the photo to which it belongs? I'd be glad to make translations for the rikishi: Sadanoyama vs. Haguroyama Toyokuni, against Wakanoumi Dewanishiki, against Wakahaguro Kitabayama Fusanishiki Udagawa vs. Niigiyama/Shingiyama?
