She wasn't a dog but I gave her a Rikishi name - my rat was called * Toki *, she also had such a beautiful beard and loved to fight.

The upper spectacle wearer looks more like Sakaekaze (Ogurumabeya) than one of Sadogatake beya.

2nd pic , (left side) the Rikishi on the right is Musashiumi from Fujishimabeya.

Shinobi Steve : It is from an old German cookbook, around 1900, printed in Königsberg/Ostpreussen (now Kaliningrad)

We still have an old cookbook that says: If you don't have anything else in the house, take 40 eggs ...... That was still the good old time in all houses chickens were normal.

As I understood Takayasu's mother, the Harubasho in Osaka takes place without spectators, only the wrestlers are there.

I made this video on day 9 at Natsubasho '19. Sorry it got so dark. https://youtu.be/SdZBXKeGXW

Dewahayate got a lot of flowers today, I think he had his last bout today.

Too bad the Trump comes so late in the day and possibly misses the fight of Obamaumi. Obama may not have had a trophy but at least for a long time a wrestler with a Shikona that is pronounced very similar to his name. (and also an Omamacity) Hope he wouldn't insist on an immediate change of name in Toranpuumi afterwards. :-o

Fujiazuma? He is in Makushita. Jk 26 ist Fujikawa

After rhyen draw my Attention to Amakaze's Special finger posture I made this Video ^^

Today I had a little talk with oao (one and only) at the Kokugikan. I thank him for the videos and all the work to make them. He was very happy to met someone who knows him and his videos. We spoke about the database and he told me that he visit the database every day. But he don't know that you can see there a lot of his videos, behind the links, because here in japan we can't see the blue rectangle. He is a very nice young Japanes.

Today he came up the stairs in Kokugikan next to me an was not out of breath like Nishikido and Musashimaru. (Ok, he had the operation) All people around spend him applause. He looks very good.
