I am looking at an object that was inscribed Made for the Nihon Juhoten . I am not familiar with the term Juhoten. what does it mean please.
-
thank you it makes sense. its a shotgun.

Just watched a TV series set in a Sumo stable. Bad boy antics by junior rikishi over the top but Heya scenes are outstanding. On Netflicks Japanese with English sub- titles. "Sanctuary" I enjoyed it.
-
I always enjoyed his Sumo. If it were not for alcohol I believe He would be ozeki and maybe YOKOZUNA> heavy drinking is a unfortunate part of sumo culture. Some people should not drink . a couple of Mongolian Yokozuna's are an example
-
Henka is legal its effective against rikishi who over extend themselves at the tachiai. Truley strong Players are not fooled very often by it and should guard against it. especially when the basho is on the line and your facing a slapper pusher like Abi. I was rooting for Taka but He really got suckered by Abi.

ENHO has tried it before.

Founders pictures are common in dojos around the world. they are placed in a place of honor.(shimoza) not stuck in a window definitely not a place of honor.
-
Great! a guy from Kanagwa
-
Great to see Taknoyama again. Gym is set like a mma fighters place but interesting to see Jigoro Kanos picture stuck in the window, kind of disrespectful.
-
I am not sure if Ichinojo and Kaisei want to become stable masters I think they fear the loss of Chanko Nabe more.
-
I am very happy nothing much came of this event. while not Hakuhos greatest fan, I believe he is the greatest Yokozuna.and defines hinkaku.
-
Takagenji fought a smart fight against a smaller man who comes in extra low face down and is a leg grabber. I am surprised all his opponents don't try to ring his bell with a flat hand uppercut to get the little prick upright.
-
I enjoy all the commentary. as I am not Fluent in Japanese the various English commentators help me understand more easily even the ones who add the letter U after the O as in Kaio. Thanks and I Appreciate all the work you have put into the Sumo Kintamayamau.

Favorite yokozuna Wajima my least favorite kitanoumi Kita was a Dai yokozuna I just did not care for his style. Favorite non Yokozuna takanohana the ozeki and Takamiyama.
-
Terunofujis story is fantastic. A longtime fan I agonized at his injury and fall in rank. I hope he can get another yusho and at least a jun-yusho together very soon because I don't see him staying heathy enough to remain at the top of the meatgrinder. To me he looks like a Yokozuna but I think he is reaching his limit rapidly.
-
iMHO Shodai is indeed lucky. the decisions after the monoii were correct calls but they were close calls. Shodai did not look as strong as he did earlier in the basho. I hope He regains his earlier power
-
During the Pandemic both Yokozuna should heal> Yokozuna privilege' not given to lessor rikishi.
-
Something needs to be done about part-time Yokozuna's
gunner replied to rzombie1988's topic in Ozumo Discussions
Both Yokozunas today are capable of doing Yokozuna quality sumo. if they must withdraw to heal so be it .That is a privilege they earned by getting where they are ranked. For the time being they are favorites to win any Basho they enter. They may be on the downslope of their careers. but not quite at the end of them. -
RIP He And Jessie Had some great bouts.
-
Happy birthday! Many more.
-
I believe he will have a short but exciting career. His sumo is effective because of his speed and flexibility. Top level body condition is hard to maintain look at him leaving the Doyo. This guy puts it all on the line except for the days he henkas. He is getting beat up pretty badly.
-
A fine young man. I believe an injury was not being treated successfully to his perception coupled with a constant Bullying that was allowed to get out of hand and was racially motivated. made it impossible to continue.
-
Kinta your dedication and expertise is much appreciated by this fan. to take time out from your time in Thailand is beyond expectations please enjoy a Sabai on me.
-
Kakuryu's henka was a brilliant move. a Yokozuna must not rely on them as a pet technique but mixing them in with other moves shows just how skillful they are and not one trick ponys. I think it keeps everyone on their toes.

Can you please tell me how to get to the data base with the videos?
