Free Banzuke

[Mark Buckton]

Free Natsu banzuke going out to the first person who can tell me - via this thread -

How many yokozuna have their (principal*) graves in Tokyo. (also called Edo when older yokozuna were buried) (Whistling...)

Good luck. ;-)

Note:

This will be a pure guessing game making everybody equal as no-one will have had access to this info via the internet or books on sumo so good luck and guess away (bar Nishi-san that is who I told the answer earlier ;-) Have your sunglasses BTW - noticed 10 mins ago next to biccy box and beer cans)

* principal meaning as registered as official place of burial and not secondary graves in home towns in some cases.

In addition - a winner who is already expecting a banzuke - will send another at the end of your 'subscription' :-)

As a player who participated and put in a lot of research to come up with his answer, I would like to see a written list , for my personal education.

[Asashosakari]

(Bouncing group) Obviously the first and last time I'll win any type of sweepstakes in my life...

Send me your address and I'll forward the banzuke a fortnight today.

PM didn't seem to want to go through, so I've tried sending an email via the forum instead. Let's see if that worked...
