Hello, do anyone know where to look for high-res pictures of Hiradoumi's kensho-mawashis? I've seen many times the one with Hirado bridge and castle during the basho, but i can't find many pics.

Here is a picture of Hiradoumi in one of his kesho-mawashi.  (Scroll down).  https://sumowrestling.fandom.com/wiki/Hiradoumi_Yuki

Is this what you were looking for?

This picture of Hiradoumi's kesho-mawashi is not as clear as the one in my link above, but is not bad.

Ishiura like all school OBs gets one from Tottori Johoku, his old high school, where his father is main sumo coach and presented the new kesho mawashi. For the first sekitori from Tottori pref. in 53 years. In the local color (a charm against evil spirits) it shows a shishi-(lion mask)-head, used in the local folklore dance. It has the motto of the schools sumo club written on it: "Keiko without cheat - Johoku spirit", and is full of symbols with deep meaning, routed in local culture and history.

The new kesho mawashi for Takakento from his high school, Tottori Johoku, was presented to the public today. It shows the head of a kirin, as used in the local traditional kirin lion dance, on a dark red background, the school's symbol color. Headmaster Ishiura: "Fortunately it is in time for the haru basho. With the hope he may soar up like in the kirin lion dance."

Meanwhile, shin-Juryo Hokuseiho's first kesho-mawashi was revealed at his alma mater, Tottori Johoku high school. It features the emblem of the school on a kirin jishi mai mask, used in the lion dances performed largely in the Eastern areas of Tottori prefecture. School Principal Ishiura was on hand to present it to the press

Roga is the next to get a design with kirin jishi mai mask from Tottori Johoku high, in the same school symbol color as Takakento and Hokuseiho - seems they now made this standard, Ishiura had a lighter red

Oshoma will get another one for juryo promotion, from the Naruto-beya Kyushu koenkai, to be ready for the Kyushu basho. It shows a red lion/akajishi, the no. 1 festival float at the Karatsu kunshi. Karatsu city and Genkai town is written next to it, the Kyushu lodgings of the heya are in Karatsu, the heya has a cooperation with the city since 2019. The heya has also intense interactions with schools in Genkai.

The total costs to make it are 2.2 million Yen, 800000 of that come from Karatsu, 200000 from Genkai, to aid the koenkai.

According to Naruto it is highly unusual that a municipality finances a kesho mawashi.The Karatsu city council decided on this in September, demanding that the koenkai would would pay at least half of the costs. Oshoma now has 5 kesho mawashi, for Kyushu he'll use the Kyushu one

- planned for all days. o

Fuji is 3776m high. The selected version of Fujippi is that from the sumo events at the 2003 kokutai, for which Fujippi was created. The group collected donations for the kesho mawashi from 100 individuals and corporations within 3 months. Midorifuji received it late in December. http://www.at-s.com/news/article/shizuoka/1174819.html

Shonannoumi was with NHK to talk about his life and career alongside his keshomawashi.

It appears to depics a view from the beach in Shonan, the region in Kanagawa his city is located, as per his shikona, the sea of Shonan.

And I dont get the donor, from what I can translate its something about part-time jobs? I fell I'm missing something in translation.

Donor is the staffing agency ENTry, they have plenty of kensho going around. Their slogan is on the kesho mawashi, not just the company name.

I just found out that there is a Mt. Kinpu, Kinpusen in Nara pref. and one Kinpusan/Kinbozan in Yamanashi pref. , written the same 金峰山 - you mostly find that when you search for his shikona, but I'm sure that will change in his favor, as the mass of coverage for the event today indicates. The mountain on his kesho mawashi is Mt. Kinbo/Kinpo - Kinbosan/Kinposan in Kumamoto pref. - and there also is a smaller Kinpozan in Kagoshima. The frog (kaeru) is s symbol of success, climbing up the career ladder, with the hope he does frog jumps on the banzuke, it also includes the meaning shoshin ni kaeru 初心に返る (a pun with kaeru), get back to the beginner's heart - and we know the sumo frog from the Choju-giga

In his native tongue the frog is pronounced like baka - idiot in Japanese - forvo.com/word/бақа/ baqa - at least with a different intonation ja.forvo.com/word/ばか/

The board chairman: "We made it a design that stands out, it took over a year."

Kinbozan entered Meguro Nichidai high in 3rd year high school at age 18, without knowing Japanese. He also received some tsuna-can, with the hope for tsuna-gari, hunt for yokozuna - and yakitori-can

Kinbozan injured the back of his left thigh during keiko at the Haru jungyo, but there is enough time till the basho to recover. o

A Nagatanien kesho mawashi for Asanoyama, same as Endo, who has a bunch of them in different colors - he'll be active CM character now, Endo was the main one, Terunofuji a bit, Takamisakari was one, after Takamiyama. Terunofuji has a Nagatanien kesho mawashi set without company symbols. Endo has no ongoing CM at the moment.

Nagatanien had made a one year CM contract with for 2021 and canceled it when the trouble started. https://hochi.news/articles/20210614-OHT1T51194.html?page=1

The thing was put on ice, but Nagatanien had no change of mind. Since day 1 they put kensho on his bouts http://www.hokkoku.co.jp/articles/-/1075844

Same 2 as Endo so far, Terunofuji has 3 - from today on both have 3, with Endo out.

he used it on day 6

Edit: I wonder if he got the Nichidai standard kesho mawashi as well or if they didn't send it to him, because it was known early that he wouldn't be able to use it
