Kotoshogiku - Yusho

[Fay]

Some pics from the party. There are always many people at the party but this time the hall was completely full, of course also full of press people.

Oyakata and Okamisan were waiting in the entrance hall of the hotel and as we arrived the Okamisan gave me a hug and said "FINALLY" (Laughing...) and the Oyakata was all smiles. Never saw a happier man than Kotoshogiku that day, busy all evening until he had to go for the NHK interview. Very happy for Kotoshogiku, he deserves it. Now go on for the next step!

Nothing cheers me up like a smiling Kotoshogiku.

East or West Bumpety Buddha is the best!

[Ack!]

Why are they hammering the cask? I assume that it's sake. Maybe it's symbolically cracking it open?

First, you hammer cask. Second, cask hammers you! Third, you wake up without pants in Kawasaki on a stolen granny bicycle.

I was helping a Japanese friend with English a few years ago and he had what at first seemed like a very strange question for me, wondering what was the meaning of, "oh, for God's sake!"

But on topic, thanks for the pictures! Buddha or actually the Geek often reminds me of Ebisu, especially when holding the sea bream!

Congratulations to Kotoshogiku.

Does the sign on top of the barrel say 'Queen Emmanuel'?

Waitaminute...first lawyers successfully sue to get Sokokurai reinstated at full back pay...and now lawyers are miraculously sponsoring Kotoshogiku who won a yusho and we're expected to think its coincidence? I THINK NOT! Fetch me my tinfoil!

Okay, but how is making a baked potato going to prove a conspiracy?!

Video of Kotoshogiku's yusho journey, sums up the whole thing.
