But in reality, I can't, I've got way too much stuff in my house already and I should be looking to get rid of some things rather than the other way around...

sumojoann 1,264 Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) I thought this little "Tea Pet" was interesting. A strange combination of a sumo wrestler with a peach head. He looks amazingly like Takarafuji!!

sumojoann 1,264 Posted January 8, 2022 58 minutes ago, Akinomaki said: The picture banzuke for Hatsu 2022 new on sale: tapestry o Do you know what they mean by selling tapestry? Are they selling life-size versions of kesho-mawashi? Or maybe miniature versions? Does it indicate how much they cost? My friend will be at the basho on shonichi and always offers to buy me whatever I would like (I pay him back). I would be interested in knowing more about these tapestries.

Seiyashi 4,086 Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) The "tapestry" is probably better described as a wall scroll, by the looks of the "in place" image at the bottom left of the flyer. It's 215x50cm, is reversible (one side might be B&W with the larger rikishi partially obscuring their highest rank, the other in colour with the rikishi smaller in size below their unobscured rank, although there might be variants with one image only). Designs, subject to availability (by basho it seems) are Meisei, Daieisho, Okinoumi, Myogiryu and Terutsuyoshi, and it goes for 11k yen before tax. Info in parentheses are stuff I'm not very sure about myself, either because my Japanese isn't great or because it's not explicitly stated by the flyer, so take those with a pinch of salt.
