Akinomaki 41,839 Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) Since we just had another discussion about mawashi never washed and lately 2nd hand shimekomi (the silk mawashi for the basho used by sekitori) are in the news, I make a thread not just for new shimekomi - unlike kesho mawashi, the only thing to tell about them is the color - and the donor. Tochinoshin presently wears the last mawashi used by his oyakata, he had a very worn out black one before. On 28/06/2018 at 16:11, Akinomaki said: he showed for the first time his new shimekomi for the basho: aubergine deep blue, the color the shisho had preferred as Tochinowaka - and he got it as a present from Kasugano-oyakata, his 3rd shimekomi mawashi overall o On 09/07/2018 at 06:43, Akinomaki said: it wasn't just the same color that the shisho loved when active as Tochinowaka - it IS the old shimekomi the shisho used in his last days. This basho Akua uses the shimekomi of ani-deshi Rikishin, who had his career cut short by repeated injuries: lime green, and never used by Rikishin, so it is actually a brand new one. Aqua as new juryo used a blue one at the Hatsu basho o Rikishin had a taste for thrilling colors On 26/03/2017 at 13:19, Akinomaki said: J13w Rikishin (9-5) uwatedashinage J3e Hidenoumi (6-8) !o Edited September 16, 2018 by Akinomaki 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 41,839 Posted December 29, 2018 Kisenosato today did keiko with a (quite) new purplish red shimekomi, he first used at Harumafuji's danpatsushiki. On 01/10/2018 at 13:48, Akinomaki said: o For Kyushu he had used a navy blue one. On 15/11/2018 at 12:16, Akinomaki said: o Asked if he will use the red one at the Hatsu basho he replied "Well, what will I do ..." http://www.hochi.co.jp/sports/sumo/20181229-OHT1T50046.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 41,839 Posted April 29, 2019 MItekeumi for the new era gets a new 3rd silk shimekomi, from 12 fan supporters, mainly Agematsu locals and from Tokyo. He selected the color himself: bright light tea brown - so far he got one purplish red and one in indigo color. Length 9m and width 80cm approximately, with 15 sagari, to wish for 15 safe, injury-free days at the basho. He'll put it on at asa-geiko to make it fit and get used to it. http://www.shinmai.co.jp/news/nagano/20190429/KT190427SFI090008000.php the Kyoto artisan started with the sagari part, the weaving of the main part will begin with the start of the new era 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 41,839 Posted November 9, 2019 Mitakeumi uses again the kaki-fruit colored shimekomi he first used at the Natsu-basho - after continued losses he had changed back to the old one mid way - light purple is the usual for him, but now he says he's grown accustomed to the one with maybe bad luck. http://www.daily.co.jp/general/2019/11/09/0012862046.shtml Asanoyama apparently breaking in a new one - but no story about it is reported o 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 41,839 Posted September 2, 2020 New makuuchi Tobizaru was breaking in a new one today.

Akinomaki 41,839 Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) The "3 Onami Brothers" local Fukushima koenkai presented Wakatakakage with a new shimekomi. The koenkai top two were at Arashio-beya today. https://www.minpo.jp/news/moredetail/2021101591212 Unfortunately the mawashi in the box has no colour information attached, hopefully later articles will mention it and show WKTKKG breaking it in. Else we'll have to wait for the basho to start. Edited October 16, 2021 by Akinomaki 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
