Mark Buckton 1 Posted October 11, 2004 Novembers tournament will have its banzuke released 3 weeks today. To that end, anyone who would like a banzuke sent from Japan after its release please let me know using PM or e-mail. Could be Kaio's last appearance as an Ozeki (but I doubt it B-) ) and Musoyama's last appearance full stop. Anyway, if you want one - let me know.

Zeokage 0 Posted October 12, 2004 Just wondering, how do you get the copies of the banzuke? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Buckton 1 Posted October 12, 2004 Just wondering, how do you get the copies of the banzuke? At the Kokugikan - 6am on release day - back home for 7 and brekky that way. Never seen another foreign guy or gal there that early and haven't missed a day in a couple of years - clever people methinks. That said - build up the 'glance and nod' with all the same guys time after time - guy thing. Zeokage-san - want one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sekitori 492 Posted October 12, 2004 I recently purchased a banzuke from Adachinoryu. The price, including postage, was very reasonable. I received it only four or five days after it was issued. He even sent a message telling me that he had just mailed it. I'm sure the only reason he supplies banzukes to others is for the satisfaction of doing so. He definitely does not make any personal profit. If you want a banzuke, I can't think of a more reliable, less expensive, and honest source. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeokage 0 Posted October 13, 2004 (edited) Being in Kyushu and having little money (I am a student after all... and a ryugakusei at that), I won't be able to get to the Kokugikan, but how much would it cost for me to get a copy? It would be a nice thing to have on the wall. (Clapping wildly...) Edited October 13, 2004 by Zeokage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faustonowaka 62 Posted October 13, 2004 I agree with sekitori-san. I also ordered a banzuke (september basho) and got it 4 days after it was posted, and I live in Belgium, the other side of the world. Very reasonable price too, thanks again! (Clapping wildly...)

BuBa 27 Posted October 14, 2004 Very reasonable price too, thanks again! Reasonable? I would say no price, charity,... My banzuke with Hakuho's first Makuchi entry is still on the wall. That banzuke guide is very handy. Thanks again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Buckton 1 Posted October 15, 2004 Request permission from the Rijicho to offer specific banzuke for those interested. Would only involve me listing those I have or can get hold of and the condition of the banzuke. Any discussions with interested persons to take place off forum using PM / mail. (Showing respect...)

Mark Buckton 1 Posted October 15, 2004 (edited) Permission granted from the Rijicho so thank you for that. Anyone interested in the following let me know: (those specific requests already made off forum - not listed - don't worry) Heisei 12 Jan (dated H11 12/22) - Maru & Waka on the east of the banzuke as Yokozuna and Taka & Ake on the west. Musoyama still at Sekiwake as was Kaio. Asashoryu at Makushita 12 (w) and this was Asasekiryu's time of entering sumo as well as Takamisakari's first basho under his now famous shikona (Juryo 12) Corners have pin holes / upper edge slightly frayed and very neatly folded into 4. (quarter size) more to come Edited October 15, 2004 by Adachinoryu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Buckton 1 Posted October 27, 2004 Few of you lads that wanted a banzuke sent - nothing received this end yet. If you haven't had a PM telling you it is here then I haven't received anything. Getting close. (Applauding...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
