Tsuchinoninjin 1,246 Posted July 28, 2023 This basho's memorial good is a Hoshoryu yusho class ring for ￥100,000. On the fanclub website, the example picture of the real ring is for Philip College which maybe doesn't exist. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Obana 301 Posted August 24, 2023 This past basho, I attended shonichi (the opening day) for the first time. Also the first time attending the Nagoya basho. Attendees were given fans and I have been admiring the single continuous line rendering of a sumo wrestler ever since. I wish there were not kanji written over the artwork but think it still bears sharing. 8 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 39,789 Posted September 1, 2023 The NSK SuMall shop now has the Ozumo Sauna basho goods series http://hobby.dengeki.com/news/2062901/ Unfortunately, the kokugikan shop site changed the server - all picture banzuke from the old site in this thread are now gone. New: https://kokugikan.net/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 39,789 Posted September 6, 2023 The e-banzuke for Aki 2023 has appeared on the new site https://kokugikan.net/?pid=176943178 - the old ones no longer in this thread are still on ex-tw. - there they have posted the Nagoya basho banzuke again for Aki (has happened before), which has vanished from the top of this page, so I post it again as well 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsuchinoninjin 1,246 Posted October 14, 2023 This round of memorial goods had a new twist - almost all goods are offered in a Takakeisho version and a Atamifuji version even though it was only the yusho winner featuring on memorial goods previously. There's also quite a lot, I won't post pictures of all. But Tshirt, square tin, diorama, mug cup, bag. Towel with both, all other goods are separate. The only memorial good to only feature Takakeisho is a bit weird. It's a decorative license plate sized for North America! I'll explain a little for non-US folk. On cars, not all states require front license plate. Actually, you won't even be given 2 license plates in these states. Some years ago (and I mean, like the 1980s) the front license plate spot was 'built-in' to all the cars and looked like a gaping hole if you didn't put a plate there. So, there was a big market for these decorative license plates. But this market has been pretty much dead since the early 2000s when car-makers would include covers to hide the hole, or included a front license plate holder as a self-install kit with the car 'normally' having no place to put a front plate. So its really weird seeing such a super-niche thing show up as a memorial good. Along with the US high school class ring as a previous memorial good, I guess they are using these out of style custom US goods for cheap... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obana 301 Posted March 27 When I visited the Kokugikan for Hatsu Basho this past January, I purchased a stuffable tote bag. It has Ura on the storage bag and an assortment of past and present wrestlers on the shopping bag including Hakuho and Kisenosato. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obana 301 Posted July 2 (edited) On my visit to the Hatsu basho this past January, I spotted this illustrated tenugui by the late Kototsurugi in one of the souvenir shops: 巡業風景絵図 (jungyō fūkei ezu) Scenes from Jungyo. I love his comic sumo compositions. So much amusing detail. (I previously posted a couple of other tenugui in the Obituaries thread soon after the artist's passing. Both of those were also on sale.)
