Akinomaki 40,774 Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) I was waiting for a pic of this: Ishiura got a new kesho-mawashi from McLaren Tokyo: "Ishiura and McLaren are very similar in being light and having speed and power." Ishiura: "Really cool! Can't wait to put it on." About the 650S for 34.4 million yen as the design: "I thought it's small, but it's spacious. I got the urge to get in for a drive. To Enoshima, with a pretty woman on board." http://www.hochi.co.jp/sports/sumo/20170107-OHT1T50090.html while active he isn't allowed to drive though - but he could ask the pretty woman to drive "Kotonishiki's was called F1-sumo.

orandashoho 720 Posted January 7, 2017 Do rikishi have any say in the design of their kesho mawashis, or could they get lumbered with wearing something they really hate? In case they have more than one, are there specific rules when they wear which one (perhaps in relation to the support by the giver, or their presence on the day)? Just wonderin'...:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He wore it on day 1 and again day 4: only if he is in the first group and Hakuho's dohyo-iri is the last, to have enough time to change into the one from the yokozuna set. and for his birthday he got a ride in the car - but not driven by a pretty woman more pics of this in the daily pic posts for days 1-3 Edited January 11, 2017 by Akinomaki 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's from the Tagonoura-beya koenkai and has several heya connected points put into the design. The cranes (tsuru) come from the oyakata's shikona, Takanotsuru: he's from a city known for cranes who come flying in. The kesho-mawashi on the right for the tsuyu-harai with a pair of cranes has them fly over a landscape part of Suruga-bay, famed for its beauty - with the proper name: Tagonoura. The one for the tachi-mochi shows 3 young cranes, the offspring of the pair. The main bird over the (early morning) red Mt. Fuji has already spread its wings - became independent and reached the top - thus the hope that Kise may become the one above all the others. o o o o o oo Edited March 3, 2017 by Akinomaki 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Akinomaki 40,774 Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Asanoyama joins the fishy group: a jumping buri is the design for his new kesho mawashi from the local Kita-Nihon shimbun company, the paper which reports each of his moves. The presentation was at the heya's Osaka lodgings by the company president: "I want you to aim for ozeki and yokozuna." The oyakata: "I want him to reach makuuchi this year." Asanoyama: "I'm aiming for kachi-koshi at the Haru basho." - "I want to do a dohyo-iri with it quickly." - the plan is to use it on day 1. o o o o $o Edited March 9, 2017 by Akinomaki 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
