Heiyu 1 Posted July 26, 2014 Do they still make those ceramic figures of high-ranking/popular rikishi? Is there one of Osunaarashi yet? - Heiyu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yebisu 35 Posted December 28, 2014 Morning Heiyu, As yet, there appear to be no figurines of Osunaarashi on the Kokugikan`s merchandise page located here: http://shop.kokugikan.jp/?mode=cate&cbid=809144&csid=0 Nor could I find any others on the web..... However, given his rising star of popularity, I dare say (assuming that such figurines are still being produced) it won`t be too long before the Kyoukai attempt to cash in.

Babaryutaikai 1 Posted November 6, 2015 RE: BOB REIMER'S SUMO MEMORIBILIA Hi all. Sorry, but I don't know how or where to post this, since I've been inactive for some time now. Many of you may have known Bob Reimer, the former Kofuji, and the fact that he succumbed to a rare form of cancer in January 2012. I had the good fortune to meet Bob and his lovely wife, Barb when they were in NYC looking for experimental treatment. Barb and I have kept in touch over the years, and she has just moved to Canada permanently and is sifting through Bob's personal memorabilia. She is now unpacking stuff and has found 7 tegata that Bob had. Two are framed prints and are of Akebono and Chiyotaikai; the others are unframed. The unframed ones are one each of prints of Goeido, Asashoryu, Kotomitsuki and Konishiki and one original Akebono tegata. Unfortunately, it seems that I cannot upload any of the images. The two framed are particularly nice with image and personal rikishi info on the reverse sides. If any members are interested in acquiring .one or more of these tegata, please email Barb at barb.reimer@outlook.com She can provide you with the photos and negotiate prices, if any. ‹ Thank you for your attention.
