I might be able to have a friend in Japan get one for you.  Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks for the offer! I appreciate it. But in reality, I can't, I've got way too much stuff in my house already and I should be looking to get rid of some things rather than the other way around...

I can definitely relate to your situation.  That applies to me, too!

I was minding my own business looking for a sumo wrestler cookie cutter and this is what popped up!!  (You have to scroll down to see it)  https://www.etsy.com/listing/929497484/cookie-cutter-sumo-wrestler-with-huge?ref=pla_similar_listing_top-1&frs=1

I had already bought this set which I really like -- https://www.etsy.com/listing/606073826/sumo-wrestler-fighter-shape-cookie?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=sumo+wrestler+cookie+cutter&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&organic_search_click=1&pro=1

I thought this little "Tea Pet" was interesting.  A strange combination of a sumo wrestler with a peach head.  He looks amazingly like Takarafuji!!  (AFTER YOU CLICK ON THE LINK, YOU HAVE TO SCROLL DOWN TO SEE THE "TEA PET").   https://www.etsy.com/listing/943434055/tea-pet-tibet-chinese-zisha-yixing?ref=landingpage_similar_listing_bot-3&frs=1

Do you know what they mean by selling tapestry?  Are they selling life-size versions of kesho-mawashi?  Or maybe miniature versions?  Does it indicate how much they cost?  My friend will be at the basho on shonichi and always offers to buy me whatever I would like (I pay him back).  I would be interested in knowing more about these tapestries.

The "tapestry" is probably better described as a wall scroll, by the looks of the "in place" image at the bottom left of the flyer. It's 215x50cm, is reversible (one side might be B&W with the larger rikishi partially obscuring their highest rank, the other in colour with the rikishi smaller in size below their unobscured rank, although there might be variants with one image only). Designs, subject to availability (by basho it seems) are Meisei, Daieisho, Okinoumi, Myogiryu and Terutsuyoshi, and it goes for 11k yen before tax.

Info in parentheses are stuff I'm not very sure about myself, either because my Japanese isn't great or because it's not explicitly stated by the flyer, so take those with a pinch of salt.

Maybe that's what Shodai needs to get his mojo back.

I finally realize what's been missing from my life.

If you follow the link I think the bag is best of a fun group of items.

I hope I am able to unsee this before the next basho...

Some new merch out of Nishonoseki-beya: akeni-shaped tissue boxes!

Apparently it's made for corporate sponsors of the heya.

[Akinomaki]

 Nice NSK fanclub article, with a PR video of oyakata solving the banzuke puzzle: A2 size, 1000 pieces, produced by Nishonoseki, the banzuke with him as new yokozuna. The first edition for paying members is already sold out (all signed by him) https://fanclub.sumo.or.jp/product/38547

Another batch of banners out, which should really clean house: Abi, Hōshōryū, Ura, Ōnoshō, and Tochinoshin.

You know, on relooking this, I at first thought this was a book, and then wondered how cool it would be to have a book compilation of all the printed banzuke sheets over the years, like an almanac. Impractical to update, sure, but wow.
