Akinomaki 31,475 Posted September 13, 2021 Day 2 http://www.sumo.or.jp/pdf/honbasho/kansen/torikumi/2109_02.pdf ５１: Terunofuji (M) １９: Kiribayama １８: Hokutofuji １６: Hoshoryu １５: Shodai １１: Mitakeumi １１: Myogiryu ８: Chiyonokuni ７: Endo ６: Wakatakakage Today only the two Nagatanien boys Terunofuji and Endo got their 3 from the big sponsor, the 2 extra by them were for shonichi. As the sole yokozuna with all last bouts, only an early kyujo can prevent Terunofuji from finishing top. And likely he will get most of the Morinaga-sho in his kensho packs - the Morinaga kensho always wanders last and separate from the others, especially fitting for the musubi no ichiban, the last bout of the day. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 31,475 Posted September 19, 2021 I forgot to save the kensho data for day 7, if someone has them, please post day 7. The Morinaga-sho like every day was on Terunofuji. On Sundays Nagatanien puts 2 extra kensho on a special bout, today it was on Ura-Tobizaru.

orandashoho 718 Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) @Akinomaki I was looking at the kensho for Day 4 and I noticed that Chiyonokuni had been granted 3 kensho placed on his bout with Tsurugisho. But Tsurugisho had a fever and went kyujo to be tested. Isn't it usual to withdraw the kensho for a fusensho?? Note: he had 5 on Day 1, 3 on Day 2, and 2 on Day 3. For Day 4 there were 3 placed kensho, not 2, but these should not be counted... so the lists after Day 4 could be wrong too.

orandashoho 718 Posted September 21, 2021 Another question: is there a Morinaga-sho every day, awarded post-bout so not mentioned in the torikumi, and does the envelope contain the same amount as the kensho? Two questions, really. And a ruthless efficiency. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 31,475 Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) The Morinaga-sho is a kensho like every other, Morinaga sponsors it. They used to let their customers in the kokugikan vote, which bout should get it. Now the votes are done online on the Morinaga site, you no longer have to buy their chocolate to write your vote on the box. Votes are accepted till some time before the start of makuuchi. In the past the result was announced after the dohyo-iri, now it's on the Morinaga Twitter. The Morinaga kensho always gets carried around the dohyo as the last of that bout, with a good distance to the pack that wanders before. It is awarded every day, but only at the proper Tokyo basho.

Amamaniac 1,898 Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) I count 49 [corrected] kensho on the final bout of the tournament. That is without doubt the biggest purse so far this tournament (Sincerely yours, Captain Obvious). In fact, it is bigger than that for the showdown between Hakuho and Terunofuji in Nagoya two months ago. But then again, this tournament is being held in Tokyo...

Yamanashi 2,425 Posted September 25, 2021 How many kensho are "national" and typically get placed every basho no matter where it is, and how many kensho are traditionally "local" and provided by regional or local companies only at one basho (or three for Tokyo)? Do the NSK people break a big sweat trying to scare up kensho for the regional basho? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 31,475 Posted September 26, 2021 This basho had 1373 kensho, the most at a (hon)basho since the start of the Corona catastrophe. https://www.sanspo.com/article/20210926-MV6SL4C7FNILBFKFET7XNAT32I/ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
