At the east entrance to Ushiku station a Kise granite monument has been installed yesterday, with a presentation ceremony. Donated by this great Kise fan from the center of stone-masonry Sakuragawa-city, Ibaraki, who runs a company in the stone business and is koenkai member. Ready for the parade that starts there tomorrow. http://www.asahi.com/articles/ASK2J5Q55K2JUJHB00Q.html

When Kise was there on the 9th, the tegata was taken, and on the 14th the monument was completed.

The poster for Kisenosato's parade as pdf on the city's Kisenosato page (with a load of pics): http://www.city.ushiku.lg.jp/page/page001213.html

Kisenosato's local koenkai produced hand flags for the parade in Ushiku-city - they plan to distribute about 3000. 2 types can be downloaded as pdf on the same page as the poster, in A4 size - congratulations for yokozuna is the one below, the other for the yusho.

The parade today with the Ushiku citizen's honor award for Kisenosato at the goal, the city hall - about 50 000 spectators. Then a celebration at another location with about 1000 attending.

I guess another 100 pics in the end - and dozens of videos.

They had first expected 25 000 for the parade. Kisenosato is the 2nd to receive the Ushiku citizen's honor award, after Takashi Kobayashi who won Olympic gold in 1988 in the 48kg category. The local koenkai had 860 members on Jan. 17th and has now reached 1400 on the 15th. http://www.sponichi.co.jp/sports/news/2017/02/19/kiji/20170218s00005000374000c.html

A party to celebrate the juryo promotion of Daiamami was on the 17th in a hotel in Kagoshima-city, organized by the graduate's association of his Kagoshima high school. About 120 attended, also members of the prefectural sumo association, who gave him a mawashi as a present. The kesho-mawashi he got from the graduate's association was on display, but not in the pics so far. http://amamishimbun.co.jp/index.php?QBlog-20170218-2

The party to celebrate the makuuchi promotion of Chiyoshoma and Chiyoo was held on the 18th in a hotel in Tokyo, about 450 attended, also their families. Chiyoshoma's father, 1985 winner of the Naadam competition, came to the party from Mongolia: "If he puts on a bit more weight, he can win." Chiyoshoma already was promoted for Aki last year, but because of the death of Chiyonofuji had no party so far. http://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/1780997.html

Hyogo pref. local Myogiryu today had an encouragement party in Himeji-city with about 100 local supporters. Last year he injured his right arm and then his right thumb and dropped from joi regular to elevator rikishi. Last basho he injured his right  elbow and finished 4-11: "I turned 30 last year and the last (5) basho I couldn't do a satisfying sumo. But I cured the injured elbow now - and the Haru basho is a good basho for me, last time 10-5. I want to go all out from day 1 on." http://www.nikkansports.com/battle/sumo/news/1784134.html

A party by the local koenkai to put pressure on encourage Endo took place yesterday in the Castle Manai in Anamizu with about 140 supporters. It is 4 years now since he entered. The town mayor and head of the koenkai: "Oitekaze-oyakata on entering said: ozeki in 3years, but there were injuries on the way. With great expectations for ozeki at last this year, I want to put pressure on the man himself."

Endo: "I learned that I can do my kind of sumo if only my physical condition is good. I'll firmly get that condition in order and train, and will do my best to aim for a fast rise, by leaving at the Haru basho a result pleasing for you."

And after school and governor visits, Ura had a koenkai party as well, with about 250 supporters: "I'm very excited, but regardless of the banzuke rank, kachi-koshi is the objective." "I think it will become an even more severe fight - I'll focus on the one bout each single day and want to do my sumo through the 15 days." http://www.sankei.com/west/news/170226/wst1702260056-n1.html

A channel of apparently a koenkai member with nice sumo content (sumo for kids, last year with Toyonoshima) which I noticed lately has covered the koenkai party

On 2.3.2017 at 13:50, Akinomaki said:

A new kesho-mawashi set from the heya koenkai was presented to Kisenosato at the koenkai-party (a glimpse of the tachi is shown as well in the NHK news). Design with crane and Mt. Fuji = with the hope to have him become a yokozuna to rise above the highest mountain (in Japan)

the 2 oyakata and 2 sekitori enter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPRs199iS1E

opening address: by Tagonoura-oyakata and from the head of the koenkai
