Tsuchinoninjin 1,249 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 309 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 39,917 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.

Akinomaki 39,917 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 1,249 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 309 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 309 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.)

RabidJohn 1,669 Posted 14 hours ago Seeing an ozeki with only a chon-mage is a little surreal. I wonder if they checked with his hairdresser, or unilaterally decided he's not getting it illustrated until he appears on the dohyo with an oicho-mage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
