I believe I haven't seen them in this thread before. Are there any pics of these anywhere and any idea when they got these kesho mawashi?

Anything on this one? I've seen it, but not the story about it. It think this old style pic of an ancient merchant or the like is used for some commercial purposes in Adachi ward, by some local company. The kesho mawashi is from the heya's local Tokyo Adachi Sakaigawa koenkai. Stop, not a merchant, an ancient fire fighter, I think as a logo for some company or product.

In return there is the customary rule of donating 500kg of rice to the sumo club. At the moment there are 8 sekitori of Saitama Sakae origin, Goeido at the top. During the 3 years in school, a sumo club member eats about 750kg of rice, and in one month all members at the moment devour about 450kg - so the 500kg aren't that much. The custom is only for new juryo, head coach Yamada was surprised that Tobizaru again donated 600kg to the club, before the basho: "For entry to makuuchi" http://hochi.news/articles/20201003-OHT1T50286.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
