Akinomaki 40,812 Posted May 29, 2024 Gojoro (Hamakaze) yesterday was in his hometown Sendai at the Miyagi prefectural office to do PR for the Sendai Natsu jungyo on Aug. 12th and 13th in the Aoba gymnasium, 2 days like before Corona. After 4 years again it was held last year for one day only. It started in 2015 as support for Great East Japan Earthquake, the pref. gets part of the revenue. Pref. local Tokihayate (first makuuchi from the pref. again after Gojoro) will be there - most likely as juryo though. o ovid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxDJ-UB1hKA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q0GBwZj7gE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqUdDejD9KM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there any connection to sumo or some history or some sponsors? Tachikawa's Tachihi corporation is one of the biggest sponsors in sumo, especially for the jungyo. The Tachihi arena is used for many sumo events, e.g. amateur sumo national events, sponsored also by the NSK. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
