The 40th Sakura-zumo tournament was also on the 29th, with Sadogatake-beya present as always:  shokkiri, Kotoshogiku and Kotoeko at butsukari-geiko with the kids (maybe only canceled at jungyo now - else this thread may die down): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEsLpFihQ7A&t=30s

the town headman of Oyama town, Shizuoka, came to Otake-beya for a visit, and brought some local koshihikari rice and other things as a present.

The town recently lost one connection to the heya: the town's tourism ambassador Osunarashi Kintaro

But even without him, the heya will also this year be present at the Mt. Fuji Kintaro festival on May 3rd, at the new dohyo in the Kintoki park. The heya will continue the good relations with the town. http://www.at-s.com/news/article/local/east/480296.html

he not only watched, he also had a bout with the small kids

main1532606865.JPG

 

Toyonoshima was scheduled to mingle with the kids on the 28th at the 3rd Toyonoshima-cup sumo tournament for boys and girls in Takaoka, Toyama, sponsored by the pref. sumo association, the Toyonoshima-koenkai and the local Toyama paper. No pics of that yet. As Toyonoshima visited this local paper, he named as a goal of the tournament "to promote sumo in the prefecture and get the next Asanoyama" - so why is this the Toyonoshima-cup? His wife is from Takaoka.
