robnplunder 976 Posted May 20, 2016 Thanks all for your welcome! (Some 20+ years ago, I went to Japan on a biz trip a few times. In my hotel room with nothing much to do at night, I ended up watching sumo on TV. It left a positive impression on me but for the next 2+ decades, it was just a fond memory. About 3 bashos ago, I've retired and had time to browse YouTube. I found Kinta's Sumo videos and was hooked instantly. Now, I can't wait until the next basho comes around. I am also digging into a lot old amateur and pro sumo videos.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
