Akinomaki 40,811 Posted May 28, 2013 (edited) Harumafuji did a ceremonial dohyo-iri at the Izumo-taisha in Shimane prefecture - this time the main shrine in Izumo, not his heya's "home shrine", the Izumo-taisha Sagami extra shrine in Kanagawa prefecture, city of Hadano. The shrine had it's shintai moved back again, the object with the dwelling deity - the premises had been renewed after 60 years. Aminishiki from the same heya was this time tsuyu-harai and tachi-mochi was Okinoumi, who is from Shimane. Edited May 28, 2013 by Akinomaki 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
