Tony 16 Posted December 30, 2012 Very nice, thank you to share it! When you wrote these pictures were published by NSK, did you mean these pics from magazines? or anything else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony 16 Posted December 30, 2012 Thank you Fay. If I understood correctly, during the next hastu basho, a Chiyonofuji's pictures expo will take place. About the two first pictures, the first one was taken for his juryo promotion (11-1974) and the second one for his makuuchi promotion (sept 1975). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Washuyama 635 Posted December 30, 2012 About the two first pictures, the first one was taken for his juryo promotion (11-1974) and the second one for his makuuchi promotion (sept 1975). I first moved to Japan in July 1975, so that makes sense... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony 16 Posted December 31, 2012 Actually, a tombola will take place during the tournament. The daily winner could be shooted beside Kokonoe oyakata. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
