More from the Asanoyama supporting "Make Toyama joyful club": a sumo hina doll set - with rikishi from Toyama pref. (and apparently a few others from the prefecture posing as rikishi), 2 yokozuna from the past on top, Asanoyama in the middle with more recent sekiwake Kotogaume and Wakamiyama, else mostly the present lower ranked, they made a doll even for new recruit Tanimura. http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/national/20210228-OYT1T50098/ o 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoshinoneko 3 Posted December 9, 2021 I am fortunate enough to own two of Lynn Matsuoka's sumo portraits, this one and Musashimaru (I can post a snap of that one if there is interest.) I actually inherited both of these nearly a decade ago from another fan and friend-through-sumo, Patt Griffin. Alas, I have fallen upon hard times and have had to consider parting with them in hopes of keeping the rent paid, cats fed, etc. It breaks my heart, not least because they are, in fact, a legacy. I am posting here in hopes someone might offer advice on their value and where I might go to sell them? There's always eBay, of course, but I don't want to go that route unless I have to -- and have a solid idea of their actual value. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
