Akinomaki 40,271 Posted October 7, 2020 A really weird amateur sumo related CM video appeared on YT today, I simply had to check the background and found some nice illustrations. It's a video entry from a 2019 promotion contest by Tsukumi-city, for the Bungo maguro "yokozuna" that is raised in aquaculture in the Bungo strait by the company Hyoshoku. http://hyoshoku.com/publics/index/15/ Caution though! - the video may be slightly disturbing for some: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLNVOyR8ErA 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 40,271 Posted December 25, 2023 1 hour ago, Naganoyama said: Usually Americans are embarrassed by the mawashi and the bare rear. In this case they are embarrassed by the bare feet. It only shows sumo like it is now, I think it's made a particularly ugly sight with the heavy bandaged feet. Wearing bandages used to be pointed out as ugly in the past on NHK, nobody bothers now.
