Akinomaki Posted February 16 Posted February 16 (edited) On 05/02/2025 at 12:57, Akinomaki said: Hoshoryu on the 16th will have a yusho parade in Kashiwa, where he went to high school and which he says is his hometown in Japan. Not by car, with jin-rikisha, from Kashiwa station West entrance at 13:30h 220m, then to the East entrance, at 14:30h 440m from there, and then flowers from the mayor. In case of bad weather it will be cancelled. The roads were filled with about 25 000 spectators - one had to line up in the morning to have a good look. o o o o o oo oo oo - we can't expect him to yusho after all the promotion events, but it seems more moderate than for other recent cases. He will try to justify his promotion, so I expect a good result the sumo channel already has 4 videos and a playlist 70 city staff members, 80 policemen - one false announce as yokozuna Asashoryu Edited February 16 by Akinomaki 4

Yamanashi Posted February 18 Posted February 18 My God, I'm stunned by the size and density of the crowds! It reminds me of videos of kami being hustled through town in portable shrines. A very impressive parade. 1

Akinomaki Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Press conference of the new yokozuna on banzuke day Every day, articles about the hinkaku comments from the YDC keep appearing, mostly outraged about the one from Tokura. Another member just emphasised the importance of hinkaku, without derogative additions. Tabloid articles mostly get in this direction, some expect difficulties for the new yokozuna, some think he'll do fine, e.g. today from Friday "No need for heel yokozuna any-more" o
TheGunbaiHolder Posted February 26 Posted February 26 Very late to the party here, but I still cannot believe (in a good way) that Hoshoryu is the new Yokozuna. I have been following sumo for only 3 years, but I have had always fun watching his matches. Godspeed to him! 1

RabidJohn Posted February 27 Posted February 27 I'm not privy to the NHK banzuke, but I'm surprised Hiro outranks John on the English speaking side of things... 1

Kamitsuumi Posted March 2 Posted March 2 On 08/02/2025 at 09:44, Kamitsuumi said: Asashoryu mentioned, in an interview after Hoshoryu's Meiji Shrine dohyo-iri, that he thought the arm rotation looked weird. He speculates that it was caused by Hoshoryu breaking his arm a long time ago, having fallen off a horse Now it's been reported that he hurt his elbow in the playoff matches
Shikona Posted March 2 Posted March 2 6 hours ago, Kamitsuumi said: Now it's been reported that he hurt his elbow in the playoff matches It actually looked like the elbow was hurt early on in the match with Atamifuji, another reason I found his yusho amazing.
Wakawakawaka Posted March 2 Posted March 2 3 hours ago, Shikona said: It actually looked like the elbow was hurt early on in the match with Atamifuji, another reason I found his yusho amazing. Rooting for Hoshoryu that was a frustrating match to watch even without him getting hurt in it. Why is he still trying to throw Atamifuji?! It doesn't work, the kid is too big and too inert.
Suwihuto Posted March 9 Posted March 9 Well I chose an interesting time to have a break for three bashos (moved house, and related issues). The Yok appears to have shrunk. 2

Akinomaki Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Takasu ordered it, design by Shuoh Yamazaki (also some illustrations by Rieko Saibara), usually ordered through Takashimaya (their name is somewhere on the back and on the akeni then), but the actual maker of the kesho mawashi are other specialists, depending on the technique with which it is woven and what kind of embroidery is used, e.g. for Kisenosato On 16/06/2017 at 17:30, Akinomaki said: On 25/04/2017 at 16:28, Akinomaki said: the Hokuto-no-ken kesho-mawashi set for Kisenosato 5 kesho-mawashi craftsmen around pure-silk Hakata-ori artisan Hyosuke Kusaka 日下淼介 (77) had worked on the set for 2 ½ months. Usually 1 craftsman works alone on a kesho-mawashi/set - Kusaka did the McLaren for Ishiura in about 2 months www.as-web.jp/info/81659 ). I haven't seen news about who made the new dragon set 1
