Ad display for Hatsu basho:

The basho posters are usually awful, but I have to say I really like this one.

The catch copy says "Hot snow will fall in Ryogoku. Ozumo January Basho"

(Chucking salt...)

Well it was also cold snow falling in Ryogoku today...

some "aaaah" could be heard following an announcement about delays or temporary suspensions of some subway lines during the makuuchi bouts.

can enter a lottery for an opportunity to take a commemorative picture with Hakuho on the day of the NHK charity sumo event. (Question: "さらに横綱白鵬との記念撮影に5組10名様をご招待！" - ten people in total or per group? Or something completely different?)

In NHK's 2012 Sumo This Year the picture taking with Hakuho was with two at a time (one 組), so it's ten people in total, like the usual use of Japanese suggests.

Today the pictures were released on the NSK twitter - the 5 groups had different number of members, it were 10 adults in all, but a few children in addition.

I was wondering where to put them; thanks for reminding me of this thread! :-)
