since_94 650 Posted January 3, 2022 Ah yes, the Kokugikan’s subterranean chanko chow hall. Many fond memories. It really is a multipurpose space, as the photo shows. They hold many sumo related activities in there, including briefings on appropriate rikishi behavior. Sure wish I could be eating steaming bowls of chanko nabe in there this January, but alas, the stupid pandemic makes that impossible once again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Pokemon Company will have banners at both the November and January basho. They'll also be sponsoring kesho-mawashi, and at the January basho, the gyoji will don a special Pokemon-themed outfit.

Seiyashi 4,068 Posted January 7, 2022 That's actually quite a badass kesho-mawashi. Is anyone going to be wearing that, or is it just a display piece? Man, now I'm wishing for them to commission a set of Legendary kesho-mawashi for the yokozuna - like the Regis, the Gen I birds, or the Gen II hounds.

Akinomaki 39,549 Posted January 7, 2022 The NSK presents the kensho and the kesho mawashi: it is for display in the kokugikan, apparently nobody will wear it. Kimura Yonosuke appears in the grass green outfit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ruziklao 34 Posted January 8, 2022 Wow. As a long-term Pokemon Go player (first used as a hook to make our junior walk with me a lot, then becoming hooked myself) I "own" most of the displayed pokemon in the game, but I have never expected to see them here.

My kids already enjoy watching sumo when it's on, but they were super excited to see sumo and Pokemon together. My oldest hoped that "the pokemon would sumo fight in the ring". And it got me thinking, maybe it's Hiyonoyama's time to shine! Can the NHK mascot take down Pikachu? You might want to look at the latest vid: Makuhita gets it on with Snorlax with Nishonoseki watching. Edited January 10, 2022 by Seiyashi 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
