Washuyama 641 Posted December 3, 2007 I've kept this since I was a child and thought some of you may get a kick out of it. I got it either for Christmas or a birthday in 1977 (or so). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doitsuyama 1,190 Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) can anyone translate the shikona?? I'd guess Negoma, Kitanoshima, Tatsuyama and Takanosugi. Edited December 3, 2007 by Doitsuyama Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fay 1,677 Posted December 3, 2007 very sweet, the green one looks definitely like Kakuryu ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Washuyama 641 Posted December 3, 2007 (edited) I avoided showing the back of the one in the blue mawashi because it has "Wakamisugi" written in blue ball point pen ink on it. ;-) Edited December 3, 2007 by Washuyama Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiyomaru 0 Posted December 3, 2007 That's a very nice toy! ;-) I wish my kids were treating their toys so good that they still look wonderful after so many years! ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Onnagumo 4 Posted December 6, 2007 Look what my son did to the sumo toy I made for him... Hmmmm.... he looks like Musoyama after the "boxing match" with Chiyotaikai :-S (Laughing...) For comfort: look how proud my son was of the yokozuna you made for him (Neener, neener...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiyomaru 0 Posted December 6, 2007 (Neener, neener...) Thanks for this pic! That is one sumo doll appreciating boy! :-S I am feeling a lot better now seeing this (Laughing...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gusoyama 103 Posted December 6, 2007 (Neener, neener...) Thanks for this pic! That is one sumo doll appreciating boy! :-S I am feeling a lot better now seeing this (Laughing...) How do you make the dolls, do you knit them or sew them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiyomaru 0 Posted December 7, 2007 (edited) I first knit them, then sew them and finally attach the hair and the mawashi. They are made out of wool. Edited December 7, 2007 by Chiyomaru Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
