Seiyashi 4,071 Posted December 3, 2021 The Hatsu poster is out, and it's a pretty interesting composition: Terunofuji, this basho's sanyaku, and a smattering of other maegashira including popular Ura and Endo. Feels somewhat Warhol-like to me, without the funky colours. 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akinomaki 39,875 Posted December 3, 2021 The artistic composition point are the mummy knees 2 in the midle on top and below, connected in 」shape by the dark mawashi 3 with the bandaged left knee. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benevolance 2,478 Posted January 5, 2022 I see they've gone with the Ground-type gym, per usual. It won't give either Terunofuji (fighting type) or Pikachu (electric type) an advantage due to terrain, so it's a respectable choice. Kind of cool that the last pic previews the Ryōgoku Kokugikan Gym badge. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yamanashi 3,735 Posted January 6, 2022 Dohyo-making clip: A universal workplace scene – three guys doing work while eight guys stand around and watch. A minor breach of etiquette, though, as no one was carrying a "Kurippubōdo". 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
