The heya koenkai may disband if it takes too long till revival, but the personal koenkai go on: Hakuoho gets a new kesho mawashi from his local Tottori pref. Kurayoshi city koenkai - fitting for the season, his hometown and his shikona. His comment: "Putting on the kesho mawashi from you all gives me a full load of fighting spirit and it cheers me up. I will pile up wins" http://www.nnn.co.jp/articles/-/274136

It's the first kesho mawashi from his new local koenkai, formed in February last year. From the more than 7 million yen collected from about 1100 mainly pref. locals plus aid from the city, also 3 kimono for Hakuoho will be made.

Not the koenkai, but the city is named as donor on the kesho mawashi, as PR for Kurayoshi. For a while it is on display at a Hakuoho exhibition corner.

A new kesho mawashi for Onokatsu from his high school Niinagakuen Asahigaoka in Odawara, Kanagawa. The koenkai to support the sumo club and the OBs was formed in April - he is the first to make it to sekitori. About 100 were at the presentation yesterday at the campus, including the mayor and members of the city council. http://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2024/05/08/kiji/20240508s00005000131000c.html

If this will become the standard design of the high school remains to be seen: showing Odawara castle, the city flower plum blossoms and the school building, the whole scene as seen from Odawara station.

Tochitaikai (Tsukahara) as the 28th got the Saitama Sakae standard kesho mawashi today at the school, accompanied by the heya's Kiyomigata and Mihogaseki, who was the first sekitori from Saitama Sakae high.

Tochitaikai was in hospital at the beginning of April due to a duodenal ulcer and then lost 10kg, but now has recovered.

At the moment 9 OBs are in makuuchi, 5 in juryo - exactly 20% of the 70 sekitori own a kesho mawashi of this type

About 150 from the school were at the party to celebrate the juryo promotion of Onokatsu, who is the 4th from the school to join ozumo and with Kyokukaiyu one of the 2 first Mongolians at the high school. If only the Mongolians make it to sekitori, this may become the standard design: the blue background colour represents both the waters of Sagami Bay at Odawara and the Sky of Mongolia.

The Tokitsukaze pair Shodai and Yutakayama today came to the dohyo-iri with kesho mawashi from confectionery maker Fujiya, showing their characters Peko and Poko. The connection to Fujiya is that several graduates of Yutakayama's university Tonodai are employed there.

20220508-OHT1I51264-N.jpgo

Now the heya's Tokihayate got a Fujiya kesho mawashi, he's from Tonodai like his 2 sempai  - with  Peko & Poko chan's dog Dog

20230905-OHT1I51092-N.jpgo

That was for juryo return.

For makuuchi promotion, Tokihayate has a new Fujiya kesho mawashi, the design is Peko-chan's tongue (some say that of Dog)

Tochitaikai was at the NHK new juryo interview with the standard club kesho mawashi of the Iruma youth sumo club 入間少年相撲クラブ, as the 3rd to get this one - not just school clubs have one.

GNsePhKagAAQVEh.jpg:large

The first was Hokutofuji, the second Tochimusashi (Tochikamiyama has quit, who had a good chance for one). It's from the club's OB support club Iruma (kakuriki/)sumo-kai 入間角力会, formed when Hokutofuji made it to sekitori, and shows their symbol 夢 dream - in old style kanji

images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSjIlaro0QiiJTGZakJb7n

used by the JCI Iruma

EhnutHJUYAUFg5n.jpg:large

and at the Iruma mandou matsuri 万燈祭り

large_%E5%85%A5%E9%96%93%E4%B8%87%E7%87%

And the motto Iruma no doyho-damashi 入間の土俵 dohyo-spirit

It's maybe a good kanji joke - Tochitaikai at his visit to Iruma recently told he wants to become a devil on the dohyo  o 土俵の (famous for that was Wakanohana I) = relentless in training and pushing himself to the limit

Tokihayate for makuuchi promotion will get a kesho mawashi from his hometown Kurihara, from the local koenkai, to be completed in June and ready for the Nagoya basho. It shows the view of Mt. Kurikoma from the sumo ground of his Kurikoma middle school, he requested a design with Mt. Kurikoma. With the image of Spring, a "Koma-form" of snow stretching towards the summit and yellow flowers.

- he needs (at least) one more win to stay in makuuchi though

- his hometown is still wrongly spelled Kurehara in the database http://sumodb.sumogames.de/Rikishi.aspx?r=12542

He didn't stay - now Tokihayate has to show the new kesho mawashi he received on the 29th (while still in makuuchi) at the juryo dohyo-iri - with this he wants to aim for the yusho and the return o

the ceremony at the heya in Tokyo - presented by the mayor, who is the head of the local koenkai

Takerufuji is in the news with his new black kesho mawashi - Terunofuji has one that seemed black, with his shikona on it, but this one is really raven/crow black - with a crow on it and his shikona, by the construction company Ace Corporation. https://times.abema.tv/articles/-/10141970?page=1

From a distance it seems quite underwhelming, but up close I think it actually looks quite stellar.

I think I've become more cowardly in my old age, because where I once thought the colour black looked cool, it now just reminds me of grim stuff, and don't even mention skulls!

My favourite mawashi was one i saw many years ago, it was a cute little whale that was surfacing and blowing its spout, though to my shame I forgot the name of the rikishi that owned it.

Edit: Toyonoshima!  It just 'resurfaced'
