BroadMeadow 43 Posted January 19, 2019 I was turned on to sumo through two different online articles: The beautiful "The Sea of Crises" on (now-defunct) Grantland:- http://grantland.com/features/sumo-wrestling-tokyo-japan-hakuho-yukio-mishima-novelist-seppuku/ And the historically and analytically informative "The Sumo Matchup Centuries In The Making" on fivethirtyeight- https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-sumo-matchup-centuries-in-the-making/ I have been following the bashos via Kintamayama's videos for a couple of years and snooping around on this forum for about as long. The above referenced articles pretty much describe who I am- someone looking for truth and beauty. Thanks for having me! 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
