Some pics of day 2 Hatsu Basho

[Fay]

Only a few cause it's rather late (01:30 (Showing respect...) )

new haircut

Very impressive today the bout between Hoshikaze and Sokokurai. Great performance by Sokokurai who sat Hoshikaze out of the ring with yorikiri.

No luck today for Kyokushuho, Tetsuhikari shooed him around the dohyo

Nishikido Oyakata for ...

Seiro

Sugita (Clapping wildly...), beaten by Kambayashi today, but he gets three pics anyway :-/

Shin Juryo Tamawashi

Guess who is the owner of this innocent coloured bag?

Shin Juryo Tochinoshin

Impressive as well Tosayutaka against Yoshiazuma, again a great yorikiri

Well the bag belongs to Mrs Uchidate who showed today a performance you usually can see with pubescent kids. As Asashoryu is already

retired for her, she prefered to talk to her neigbour during the dohyo iri, the neigbour wasn't soooo amused about it. Of course she

didn't clap at the end, but she was punished immediately :-), she had to leave the tamari seat, she was sitting on.

But we don't need to feel so sad for her ... the mysterious man appeared. He seems to be the owner of all tamari seats, and she got one from him for one of the next days

I wonder when Nishinoshima will find out who this mysterious man really is.

[kaiguma]

Nah, that's the guy who invented MSG. He's now fabulously wealthy and wields quite a lot of power in the chanko circles.

Saw him as well when I was there. When he sits on a seat the real ticket owner already showed up at the chaya section, a chaya guy runs down and tells him. He is always wandering around the Tamari seats. My fried started to nod at him- like with other people we met every day like the sweet grandpapas from Osaka. He greeted her back (Showing respect...)

Thank you, Fay-san.

Seiro is good this basho. I belive thata he will get KK easily, but Sugita.... what's happen to him?
