Tokihayate and I came close to walking into each other as he arrived at Edion Arena. He came out of the stairwell while I was speeding down the hallway. This was my view after, while trying to remember his name! On TV, he resembles fake Enho. In person, he resembles fake Oho.

I have admired the art of @majohammajoster for years, so when I went to Japan I made a point of looking for this book, even though I can't read Japanese. It took visits to 3 different stores to find it! It's home with me now in 🇨🇦.

Today, I visited Ōtori Taisha, where Arashio Beya is staying. The smell of bintsuke wafted out the door, which had been propped open. Caught a glimpse of someone heading to the basho and got the shrine's limited edition goshuin!

The sekitori/tsukebito relationship can be problematic - a power dynamic that is sometimes abused - but in its best incarnation it’s a source of strength and support. 🥹 #harubasho2025

Baby Gyoji! He was standing there all alone, looking serious and proper. He was very kind when I asked for a picture. After, I turned around to find him rough housing with a friend. 😂

ICYMI this in-depth look at the dohyo was absolutely fascinating and provided some unexpected insights into sumo wrestling www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/...
Dohyo: The Ring - DOSUKOI Sumo Salon | NHK WORLD-JAPAN
We investigate how rikishi perceive the sumo ring, a circle 4.55 meters across. Along the way we highlight the work that goes into constructing it and how rikishi grip the clay with their toes.
