Asojima 2,874 Posted July 16, 2010 (edited) Jiji is publishing a series of premium pics on its site. Here are five that are sumo-related: Asasekiryu Tochinonada Unknown - Nagoya Asageiko - My guess is Kotoshogiku. More Asageiko Asageiko - My guess is Homasho There are also about 10 pics from the recent WC unpleasantness. See the 25 posted to date here.

Asojima 2,874 Posted July 16, 2010 The above pics are from this month only. I just discovered that they have been doing this since about May of 2008. I will go through the collection and extract/post the sumo-related ones I find along with the month in which they were posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamaikazuchi 4 Posted July 16, 2010 Those are pretty cool. I would guess that the last one is also Asasekiryu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 19,319 Posted July 16, 2010 I was going to say Kotoshogiku, but after manipulating the image a bit it seems to be a dark practice mawashi, not a white one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony 16 Posted July 16, 2010 My guess for the third picture is Satsumahibiki, for the last one, Kirinowaka. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takamizawa 0 Posted July 17, 2010 (edited) Yamamotoyama - ?? Looks like Tokitenku. Edit: These are all great pictures by the way! (Shaking head...) Edited July 17, 2010 by Takamizawa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asojima 2,874 Posted July 17, 2010 Looks like Tokitenku. Agree. They met on Day 11. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 19,319 Posted July 17, 2010 Looks like Tokitenku. Agree. They met on Day 11. Also YMY's only okuridashi loss that basho. The guy who has his fingers in Wakanosato's face in July 2008 is Kotomitsuki, I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are certainly some of the best I've seen all these years. Except for some of my own (Laughing...) (Jyoku desu!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
