Seiyashi 4,108 Posted December 29, 2022 Minor nitpick - the move Mainoumi pulls doesn't seem to be a hatakikomi, but something more of a hineri or katasukashi? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jomangor 29 Posted December 29, 2022 Since we're picking nits, Konishiki seems to say 'chomange' instead of 'chonmage'. Obviously he knows what's correct but I wonder if that particular metathesis is common.

Benihana 1,937 Posted January 12, 2023 There's an article about a new sumo book in the german SPIEGEL, sadly it's behind a paywall. https://www.spiegel.de/sport/sumo-buch-von-lord-k2-sumokaempfer-sind-sehr-maskuline-charaktere-ich-konnte-das-testosteron-riechen-a-af17da46-5e03-458c-88c1-51d2841a3681 The title translates to "Sumo wrestlers are very masculine characters, i could smell the testosterone." The article is about a new sumo book and the author (Lord K2) of the book shares some photos on his website. https://www.lordk2.com/sumo-book The book is available on Amazon for a decent price and from what i see on Amazon and the website, this is a sure buy for me, when it's published in march. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
